Firefox 3.6 is faster than the current version Firefox on my old netbook
It's a Sony Vaio with a 1400Mhz Core Solo processor and 2Gb of RAM. Running Windows XP. I installed the latest Firefox and Chrome, but at youtube, both of them fail miserably. They cannot produce an acceptable playback speed even as low as 360p - the video is just stuttering so badly. Tried youtube with both HTML5 and Flash. The strange thing is, however, that the old Firefox 3.6.18 managed to play youtube videos almost fluently at 480p. I am just wondering what is/isn't in modern browsers that prevent them from playing youtube videos decently on older machines? Is there something in the recent version of Firefox that I could just disable or something, to get the same results as with the older 3.6 version? Thanks!
