The closed captioned text is out of sync with the video. The captioning is running well ahead (20-30 seconds) of the video, which renders it nearly worthless. Can I sync picture and text somehow, or is that in the domain of the content provider?

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting to make changes effective.
