firefox only video lagging
Hello. I am having a problem with the video playback in Firefox 35.0. I have done some research on this and it looks like people have been having this problem since 25.0. So I have tried the about:config suggestions, none help. What its doing is. When I try and play any video from any site in Firefox only they will freeze at intervals from anywhere from 10 seconds to 10 minutes. This only lasts for a few seconds, then it plays fine for 10 seconds or 10 minutes. There is really no set time frame. But every video I play will do it eventually. Some worse than others. I try pasting the video link into Chrome and Explorer both of them play fine. So it is obviously a Firefox issue. It's not the video card either. I had some issues with my system, so Dell just sent me another one. So this is a brand new/reconditioned computer. But if this has been screwing up for this long, why is it it hasn't been fixed? These people "FIX" all kinda chit that aint broke, but when there is a problem,, oh well.

Oh. It's not buffering either. It's only the video that lags. The audio is perfect.
If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
- see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
