For some time now I have been having trouble with viewing you tube video's. At times the video freezes or just sort of locks up. But, I don't have the same problem with other browsers, Chrome, Brave. So, it just seems with Firefox this issue pertains. Can some one please help so I don't experience the Firefox you tube problems. Thank you.

Hi zeroknight, tried Firefox in safe mode, same problem. Operating in safe mode made NO difference. Still have you tube video freezes and voice studdering when viewing. Can you still help? Thank you.

Do the dimensions (size) of the media player window has any effect, i.e. does this still happen with a smaller player and with a lower resolution in case you use HD ? Does this only happen on YouTube ?

Hi cor-el, thank you for your reply. The size of the window doesn't seem to matter. And yes, this Firefox video playback seems to happen with other playbacks I try to access from a article I may see from a news article. Again, not a issue with other browsers, Chrome, Brave. This is not a new problem. It had been going on for some time now. I just change browsers when I know I want to access playback video's podcasts. Appreciate your help. Where can I look within Firefox to possibly solve this issue> Thank you, cor-el.
