Have you tried New Moon? It's supporting XP
with a relatively late version of the Firefox core.
But I haven't tried it myself. I don't like to enable
script and if I want to see a video it's likely I'll
want to watch it more than once, so I just
use youtube-dl.

I've rarely watched a video
via streaming, so I wasn't actually aware that it
was a problem in XP. I'm curious as to exactly what
part doesn't work in older browsers. So-called HTML5
isn't new. Also, I don't know if this will help, but you
might try spoofing the userAgent. A surprising number
of sites just filter out anyone without at least Win7
and a recent browser version.
