FF resolution settings to lower bandwidth usage
Which versions of FF will do this and what specific settings are there to lower bandwidth usage?
Also, will the FF settings override settings on websites such as youtube? For example, if my kids were to click on higher resolution or HD video settings for their youtube videos, what would happen?

Changing the resolution doesn't have any effect on the Firefox performance and may even look worse if you operate an LDC monitor not in its native resolution.
You can block content if you ant to improve performance on a low bandwidth connection.
You can look at Adblock Plus.

I am looking to lower bandwidth usage on a computer, even if it affects resolution quality. I do use adblock. Looking for other ways to do this.
You can only do that by blocking content like media files that are loaded automatically and not when you click a link or by blocking images.
You should be able to do both with ABP.
You can try to ask advice on the Adblock Plus forum:

I would sugggest getting Flashblock. Flash ads consume a lot of bandwidth.
