Youtube videos don't load properly

I'm having a problem where when i watch youtube videos they don't properly load the video as im watching, it will load a tiny part to just then stop the video and load for ages without really coming anywhere. I got this problem probably a few days ago and it seems to only be when i watch videos via youtube on firefox, i tried with chrome and it works fine. I have tested my network speeds when this has happened and they are normal, looking at any other video site/streaming site it is working all fine. I have tried with some steps i found when looking for a solution. These steps are to turn of hardware acceleration or clear the cache, i have tried turning the hardware acceleration off and so far (only tested it for 5 min) it seems to be working and i have not cleared my cache as i have a fresh install of windows and firefox. I would like to be able to have hardware acceleration on because i use the browser a lot while playing games or working and i use multiple tabs and instances and it would benefit me more with it on. Something i also have seen and checked is updates for drivers, everything is up to date.

Anyone know any fix or if it is a problem for others or anything that could help?
