When im watching something on YT/Twitch and want to go fullscreen or exit fullscreen my whole pc freezes for a second, and sometimes statteres when something is in fullscreen. I tried refreshing whole browser, reinstalling, restarting pc, fixing codes (k lite, my friend told me to try), cleaning my pc with ccleaner and updating adobe flash.

Hi osaosa1602, perhaps the problem is the "transition" animation. Try disabling the animation so Firefox switches more quickly between regular and fullscreen. Here's how:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste api.trans and pause while the list is filtered

This should shorten the list to three preferences:

(A) full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter

This preference is for the animation shown when switching from regular to full-screen.

Double-click this preference and change from 200 200 to 0 0 and click the blue arrow or press Enter to complete the edit.

Then test on YouTube/Twitch and see whether that works better.

(B) full-screen-api.transition-duration.leave

This preference is for the animation shown when switching back from fullscreen to regular.

(C) full-screen-api.transition.timeout

Not sure what this one does.

Ok, i thought it fixed my problem but it came back

Hmm, maybe it's some kind of incompatibility with your graphics card driver instead of an intentional delay??

But it started happening recently, and on the other browsers it's working fine. And it's happening on some days and on the others it's fine.
