Hello

I have an issue with Mozilla Firefox

When playing a YouTube video in full screen the video freezes after 5-10 seconds but the sounds keeps going on.

The same video plays normally in YouTube when not in full screen and in other browsers even in full screen.


Ask if you need some other information regarding this problem.

Hello

I have done what you suggested.

I have also updated Flash, shockwave and my graphic card drivers.

Videos still freeze when running on HD quality in full screen but keep playing when I set a lower quality in full screen.

I think we can chalk that up to this being an old computer giving its maximum. Still it works a lot better than before.

Thank you for your help
