Firefox hanging youtube.
Can you please fix the problem Firefox is having with Youtube. it hangs every 2nd or 3rd video. It never finishes loading the page. I have to go to MS Edge to actually use YouTube. This only started with update 149.0 on windows 64 bit computer.
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry to hear that. Here are some standard troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue:
- Please check if you have Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) enabled. You can do that by clicking the shield
icon in the left part of the address bar.
- If ETP is enabled, try disabling it.
- If the problem is not fixed, try clearing Firefox cache.
- If it does not help, try clearing cookies and data for YouTube (warning: you will be logged out on this website).
- If it also does not help, try running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode. If the problem doesn't persist, please follow the steps from this article to troubleshoot further.
- If nothing from the above helps, try creating a new Firefox profile and check if the issue persists there. If it doesn't, you can start copying files from your old profile to the new one to identify which one causes the issue. See this article on what files to copy.
Does any of the above help? Looking forward to your update on how it goes!
Thanks for the problem. I have tried everthing and even refreshed Firefox. I'm pretty sure this is a FF issue. There are lots of conversations about it online. The last update messed Firefox up for some reason. I can only watch one or two videos then it just hangs. I have to use a different browser for youtube now.
