I have tested youtube on other browsers such a Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, Firefox is the only browser that I am suffering issues with that youtube does not buffer videos or indefinitely pauses unless I refresh the page. I loose connection with the ability to be able to type in the comment box of youtube, the keys on my keyboard work however I can not type into the box.

I have tested this on other browsers with no issues.

Please update as it has been a reoccurring issue and I must use other browsers to view youtube.

Thank you.

I have a lot of saved tabs and I don't want to risk starting in safe mode as I don't want to loose them.

Also the cookie clearing did not resolve the issue.

Thank you.
