I have done every single thing including reinstalling Firefox. The Youtube videos will not buffer in my Firefox browser in ANY mode, safe, troubleshooting, etc. I got it to start after reinstalling then about a minute into the video it started buffering again. I can watch vids in ANY other browser, and am connected by ethernet to my router.

Do you have FxSound installed, by any chance? This was causing playback issues for me, and once I redirected the sound to another output device, videos began playing normally again.
