Windows 10 + FireFox 32bit + Youtube = fail YouTube locksup, sound continues to play, Firefox locksup, then video works, then locks up again. Other browsers work as expected. Edge does not have this error. All drivers are current. 09/18/2015

None of this fixed the problem. : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_the-problem-still-occurs-in-safe-mode Turning OFF Hardware Acceleration was definitely not helping.

Vimeo works, Quicktime works, All drivers are current. It seems to be specific to YouTube, also can't Copy/Paste to comment YouTube comment section. If YouTube is open in a tab, FireFox is completely useless. examples: google + If YouTube is played as an embedded link it (Not Responding) Open New tab>YouTube> play any video plays 2sec, locksup (Not Responding), works, locks up again.
