Hi there, hoping to find some solution to new problem I encountered.

A little backstory: I've been watching videos on YouTube in FullHD/60fps for quite a while using Firefox and never got much of a problem, using HTML5 player obviously. Recently tho I discovered my videos keep buffering, stuttering even on 720p. Few first time it happened I thought that it must be my internet connection having some trouble and didn't gave it much thought. The last few days tho I decided to check few things. And well, I'm not sure why but my connection speed through Firefox is way slower than in Chrome. Didn't check Opera, but might.

Data My connection, usually it's around 10-15 Mbs http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5706222947 And now screen showing "nerd stats" where you can see a totally different connection speed, FF on the left, Chrome on the right: http://i.imgur.com/rAWpTiG.png

Any ideas what might cause this? I don't want to change my browser, cleaning cache/temporary files didnt' do much. All plugins are up to date. I'm little concerned what could make this big change between browsers.
