Fellow Firefox users, here is my problem:

Until yesterday (6/28/21), YouTube worked with no problems in Firefox. All of a sudden, YouTube does not function properly in Firefox. Videos will start, and within about two minutes, the video freezes and the spinning circle comes up. YouTube functions fine in Microsoft Edge. I have tried to reset everything, but it doesn't make a difference--YouTube isn't functioning as it should on this computer. I had a Microsoft Windows update on this computer in the last few days, but I don't think it is that because it was working after those downloaded. What should I do?

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
