I use version 65.0.2 and everytime I try to load some videos on youtube.

It suddenly freezes and takes much time to load and play properly.

Unless I wait it loaded, I have to shut down firefox with task manager.

I tried turn off H/W acceleration and re-install firefox and it did not work.

Chrome and IE have no problem to play YT.

What`s the problem? I really don`t know why suddenly firefox stutter trying to play YT videos.

What's your computer system and Firefox version?

Many have reported issues with YouTube of late. Are you using and YouTube add-ons?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

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

Already tried safe mode and same problem occured.

I guess add-ons have nothing to do with this problem.

Almost gave up to use firefox b/c of YT currently.

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
