Why does Firefox stop loading a video if the tab is not current?
I have three monitors. If I put a video on one monitor, move a Firefox tab to any other monitor, the video will stop loading. Doesn't matter if it's Twitch or YouTube.
I assume there's a setting somewhere there does this, and please oh please, how do I remove that?

I believe that this is being fixed for Firefox 62, but is something that you can try to improve the situation. Do the following:
- Type
about:configin the Firefox address bar - Bypass the security warning
- Find the
network.http.throttle.enablepreference - Change it to
false - Restart Firefox
Hope this helps.
NOTE: If you notice any negative performance impacts from this preference, you can repeat the steps above to change it back to true.
Thank you, exactly what I was looking for. Works now.
