Streaming. Quality bad and swapfile 100% full
I changed The MBs for the swap, turmed the Hardware speedup to off. No results. After 10min streaming swapfile is full. I tested chrome - no problems. Is there a solution?

Hi, uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 62.0.0 with a Full Version Installer
Change swap file so that it is custom and that the min/max is the max # in both boxes. Is a performance hack.
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
THX for your engaged answer. But It didn´t solve my problem. On the contrary: My Computer makes an emergency-shut off as I start the Windows Disk Cleanup!!
May be that the reason is I have an SSD-Store (Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB).
Are you sure your having a firefox issue and not a Windows issue due to the swap file being full and not emptying. Nothing wrong with a swap file being full or a cache being full it is when the data is not getting over written.
Please give this a try : Open a Command Prompt by run cmd.exe as a Administrator and Copy/Paste SFC /Scannow and then Enter ( SFC<space>/Scannow Reboot after.
Windows Disk Cleanup you may have to clean only one thing at a time.
Since can not defrag a SSD you may want to do this : If you do not use Sessions then triple or higher : https://www.servethehome.com/firefox-is-eating-your-ssd-here-is-how-to-fix-it/
The risk is for me too high to do all these things. I´ll change the browser.
There is no risk involved.
This is a Windows Command : SFC /Scannow Fixes Registry and System files by using files already on your system. change.
C:\>sfc/scannow or C:\users>sfc/scannow don´t work, The system says: "Wrong Command"
Sorry, now it´s running. The path was C:\windows\system32> ....
