Several seconds into most videos on many sites Firefox stalls, I get an animated circle in the center of the screen. Waiting any amount of time does nothing.

Hi, please check through these : VIDEO AUDIO *https://support.google.com/youtube/topic/3014746 - Youtube *https://www.youtube.com/html5/ - Can you support HTML5 *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-common-audio-and-video-issues *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/html5-audio-and-video-firefox

Thanks. But none of that helped.

Please test in : SAFE MODE *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective: *all extensions are disabled (about:addons) *default theme is used (no persona) *userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder) *default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf) *Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit) *hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General) *plugins are not affected *preferences are not affected TEST'''''''''is issue still there ?
