Here is a video which would demonstrate it best: https://youtu.be/MpHX4Ep-IMM

These two comparison are made between Firefox 158.0 (64 bit) in Troubleshoot Mode and Brave 1.97.59 (64 bit), on Windows 10, version 22H2. I use the 30MB Big Buck Bunny version on test-videos.co.uk site, Firefox seems able to load the 1MB, or 2MB version pretty smoothly, but higher than that, it starts to stutter, for some reasons I cannot understand.

(Most results I can find online tell me to "disable hardware acceleration", but I have been turning that setting on and off multiple times without seeing any changes)

Ironically, videos on Youtube can load normally without issues. It just seems any embedded videos would behave oddly like this, which I encounter most often on Discord.

Please, I would appreciate any insights. I can provide additional information if needed. Thanks in advance.

For at least a year now the download links on most websites and emails do not work when using Firefox. I must use a different browser to complete a download. After clicking on a download link, Firefox will act like it is going to start the download but then acts as if the link is being blocked. I have to use a different browser like Zen or DuckDuckGo to do the download. I have checked the settings and nothing has changed from the initial setup done years ago. This started happening several updates ago and has not improved but only gotten worse with each new update. As of now I can only use Firefox to download links from about 1 in 50 websites. There's not much sense in using Firefox as my default browser if I have to use another browser to download link contents from websites or my emails.

Recently I am facing this weird issue where every time I open FireFox, all my previous tabs are gone and it starts with a fresh window.

This happens even after the Account Syncing is turned ON under "Accounts And Sync" and "Open previous windows and tabs" is checked under the "Home and Startup" settings.

Hope someone can help me out as it is very frustrating to open the same tabs again and again!
