Hello, when i fullscreen video on youtube video stops buffering. When i end fullscreen buffering immediatly starts and everything is okay. Back and forth. I tried: reinstall to lastest mozilla release, disable addons, stoubleshoot mode, increase cache in about:config and other public solutions i can google. When i look on "Statistic for experts" on youtube there are three bars and it shows: Normal size player: Connection Speed - some amount of kbps (works) Network Activity - some amount of KB (works) Buffer Health - some amout of s (works) Fullscreen: Connection Speed - some amount of kbps (works) Network Activity - 0 KB (doesn´t work) Buffer Health - 0 s (doesn´t work)

It looks like i solved my problem. Problem happend again, useragent didnt work, only broke twitch player for me. :) So i tried to change wifi adapter. I had old usb tp-link adapter model tl-wn722n and it looks like it was the problem, mozilla did not like it, edge had no problem. So i bought proper pci-e wifi card and everything works ok now. (last 5 days) Thank for your efforts.

Super strange. Some people have said fooling around with the useragent string and making Firefox look like another browser gets Youtube to treat them differently and avoid strange issues and have better performance.

Maybe you can experiment with that using this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/
