When entering full screen mode of streamed videos like on youtube, the buffering starts from the beginning, losing all data downloaded so far. I'm not entirely sure that it's related to the 3.6 version, but I never had this problem before. anyone has any Idea?

The problem is youtube, if you look at the videos when you click full screen it goes from 360p resolution to 480p or even to hd.

to fix this go to: Account Settings>Playback setup and then choose (*)I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video.

After some checkups, I am positive that this problem is sourced to the 3.6 FF since using IE does not causes streamed videos to rebuffer upon entering full screen mode. still waiting on some help guys. Thanks
