Since las week i have this really annoying problem with mozilla / youtube. I watch videos on youtube and suddenly afte 20segs - 1 hour of usage of youtube the video stops buffering i try to reload the page but it just hangs there for almost 1 min trying to connect and then fails to do it, from that point i can't connect to any other websites until i restart my pc. I have tried all the walkthroughs and it doesn't seem to fix my problem.
