Videos on YouTube play choppy in Firefox
Whenever I play videos on YouTube in Firefox, the video is always choppy and does not run smoothly. I’ve tried restarting the browser and checking my internet connection, but the issue continues. This problem only happens in Firefox, not in other browsers.

I have the same problem. Sound starts and video jumps thru single images for about 30 seconds before smooth video. Video runs fine if I download it. Same file runs normally in Chrome. Repeat no issue with Chrome.
Win 11, FF 144.0.2, all extensions off. I use Surfshark VPN.
Video runs the same with VPN on or off.
Youtube videos seem to work better after the 145.0.2 upgrade. Win 11. The problem isn't solved but the video usually plays normally after about 10 seconds. I don't have to use Chrome and Edge gets removed as soon as Microsoft reinstalls it.
Extensions on or off and VPN on or off doesn't seem to make a difference.
My ISP is Starlink. Speed is normal, a little faster w/o VPN.
