Youtube videos often never go past buffering for the last several versions of Firefox

And it isn't actually buffering at all. It will load the comments and all the recommended videos, but then just show the spinning buffer wheel yet not use any internet bandwidth at all. I need to reload the page 1-3 times to get it to actually start playing.

This is on MacOS 10.14.3, and a 300Mbit internet connection. The only addons installed are uBlock Origin and User-Agent Switcher.

This never happens in Safari or Chrome, but I don't want to use those because Firefox is the only browser I can stomach on this earth. The rest are all sub-par.

Also... it does this on all my Macs.

Through the built-in update function in Firefox itself. I just updated to 66.0.1

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
