Issues with video performance

more options

For the past few months, videos on YouTube haven't been playing properly. They load just fine and there's no issues with the auto, but once the video starts playing it will sometimes be zoomed into the top left corner, making it impossible to properly see what's going on.

This happens with music videos too, both official and lyrical. It will be zoomed in close to the top left corner and just barely catches what's going on in the video. Sometimes, video do play like they're supposed to, but for the most part, they'll be zoomed in as soon as I hit play.

My apologies for the very delayed response. I am also unsure if I am doing this correctly, so please excuse me if I get anything wrong.

Yes, I do indeed have an extension installed, but I have never experienced issues with it nor have I heard stories about people who have had a bad experience with the extension. The problem didn't arise until about Mid-July, if I remember correctly.

After updating the Firefox app, videos started have performance issues. I have also noticed that sometimes the issue persists even when I select the "Desktop Site".
