BT Sport virtually unwatchable in Firefox but OK in IE
I use a PC and Firefox is my preferred default browser.
BT Sport is virtually unwatchable in Firefox (juddering, buffering, freezing, delay) but plays pretty well (occasional judder) in Internet Explorer. Why? Do I need to alter Firefox settings? Youtube etc play perfectly well in Firefox.
Details of my system are as follows:-
Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2, 32-bit OS Internet Explorer 8 Mozilla Firefox 48 Silverlight Plug-in 5.1.50428.0 set on Always Activate Shockwave Flash 22.0r0 set on Always Activate
Thanks for any help you can give
