For over a month now i have a problem with youtube. It loads videos very badly. I have good connection speed, but 0 network activity and 0 buffer health in Stats For Nerds on youtube and videos dont load. I can wait for 10-15 minutes (but sometimes they load almost instantly) before video load 40 sec buffer and after that buffer ends i can wait for another 10 minutes befor it load buffer again.

This problem persist only in my firefox on my computer. I tried deleting all the extensions, reinstalling firefox, "refresh firefox" future, changing useragent, reinstalling windows (it was the time anyways) but it doesnt solve the problem. I dont have this problem in other browsers (edge, librewolf, chrome) on my computer.

OS: win 11 x64 Firefox 127.0 x64

Faurazeko, have you tried the latest version 127.0.2?

According to the release notes: "Fixed an issue where YouTube playback may experience stalling under certain conditions"

Just wondering, Did you restart Firefox / your PC after the update? Did you try troubleshoot mode?

Other things you could try are:

  • Restarting your PC.
  • Rebooting your router.
  • Creating a brand new vanilla Firefox profile (without refreshing or manually importing any bookmarks or other data or otherwise making any changes to it) and seeing if it still happens.

If none of those work, and if no-one else has any other suggestions, then you could file a bug at Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home

Faurazeko, there is a bug report already, if you think it might be relevant to your situation: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1900191

This was the bug that was fixed in the last release. If it applies to you you could post there to let them know that there still may be issues (if none of the other suggestions given in the previous post help).
