'bold text YouTube is "acting insane, sound plays/picture is frozen. Can't pause it. Also can't start it! Ads play on without option to skip. I got some notice that YT was changing something, I think it is broken. I managed to get a video to play on MS Edge, but I normally do not use that. I cleared cache and ALL of that, rebooted computer, etc. connection is good. Searches are fine on firefox, Other sites are fine on firefox. . IT IS YOUTUBE! It is SO bad that now with my mouse, the arrow and hand are NOT showing up on the actual screen where video plays. Right now on here it is fine. but on youtube? no.

Hello!

This is mostly an extension issue. Please check your extensions and reach out if you still have the problem.

That easy youtube video downooader I suspected, but tuning that off did not fix it, uninstalling it didn't fix either. Next morning, I guess youtube fixed it. I did nothing, but it IS fixed.

I disabled Malwarebytes for youtube, but at the time, it didn't work to fix it. also uninstalled easy youtube video dwnloader.

Please read my answer to the last comment I was given. It seems to have fixed itself. BUT, ONE video from TYT last night acted weird. It was fine on MS Edge! It is all OK right now.

AAAAAH, it is doing it again, on THIS video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=786X0CXFctA

It froze, then started up audio only. The issue is with YOUTUBE on FIREFOX and Fox just had a update.

Hi,

Firefox developers are aware of this issue (which happens occasionally) and are investigating it under bug 2035904.

Good. I like Firefox, for one the print is BIG, easy to see. On both Edge and Google it is so tiny that I wonder if even people with 20/20 vision can see it. Since it is ONLY happening with yt videos, I CAN watch them in Edge. Thanks for the update.
