Firefox Community Forum

I have a problem that I cannot resolve for months. I'm always listening to YouTube I'm listening music while I'm working or I'm doing task on Firefox I used to have no problem I just Open YouTube and let it play on auto play and it goes no matter what. About 6 months ago I started to experiment some problems the video stop all the time even if I have a playlist going on like 50 song one after another it will stop once in a while for no reason. It pissed me off so much that I have to change my browser by default and I don't like other browser I use always Firefox with DuckDuckGo so when I'm trap to use other browser I get mad the only one that functions very good it's on edge Microsoft and seriously I cannot stand this… I'm forced to use YouTube only on edge it's the only place that it works no matter what it never stop. It used to be a little arrow in the bottom of the screen, a button that you can click on and off to Auto play or not, this button disappear it's not even there no more. This button Auto Play it's not there in Edge or Google Chrome but YouTube works for them not for Firefox so what is the problem it's not the setting is it YouTube that's got problem with Firefox? I don't know, it must be a way, a back door because I need to go back with Firefox I need to go back with DuckDuckGo. I'm pissed because I have to leave just because of that and that it's no compromise for me my music will pass before everything else. I don't feel like asking question to the community because it takes months before they answer you if they do. It's no customer service for Firefox or Mozilla whatsoever they don't answer you they don't talk to you they don't fucking care and this is another thing that pisses me off because they have a good thing going on but they don't care about the people. This was, this is what I did so far: Disable Hardware Acceleration "Performance" section.

I unchecked "Use recommended performance settings."

I unchecked "Use hardware acceleration when available." Clear Cache and Cookies I cleared the cache and cookies preferences privacy: Under "Cookies and Site Data," I clicked on "Clear Data."

Thank you, Firefox.

For a couple of days now Instagram linked videos won't play here. Actually some of them will -- my own reels and anything linked with that button that looks like a movie 'clapper'. But videos that show the triangular arrow pointing to the right, nothing happens when you click. Not sure if this is a FF issue or maybe something changed at Instagram. Did a google search and nothing came up.

I am using Firefox 141.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11.

When I watch a video on Firefox (say, on YouTube,) the first watch-through is fine. When I restart the video, the audio desyncs with the video. For instance, if the person in the video says a word, and that word normally appears on screen simultaneously, in Firefox, it takes a second or two for the person to say the word. If I back the video all the way to the beginning manually, and then press play, it works fine.

I've disabled Hardware Acceleration in order to try and fix it, but it didn't work. I would appreciate any help with this.

Thanks in advance.

YouTube videos encoded at 60 frames per second are extremely choppy in Firefox only. Microsoft Edge plays the same videos perfectly.

I have deleted my profile and reinstalled Firefox, updated graphics driver to the latest version, and toggled hardware acceleration on and off. Nothing helps.
