When playing YouTube videos in Firefox, the video constantly hangs or freezes. I have to restart the browser to continue playback. This happens every time I try to watch videos.

Same problem—seems like everyone is experiencing it. For example, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1s3j3bc/anyone_having_youtube_problems/ Firefox developers, please fix this for the love of God. What’s going on? I’ve been using Firefox since its launch, and this is really annoying!
