Subj. The hardest lags ever. Shorts may switch 30+secs. New videos open slow also.

Very slow. Changing to other windows besides Firefox or changing tabs causes the youtube tab to go blank and render again after a very long time. Video controls start lagging and once my laptop even crashed during a video. Had to hard restart the whole thing. I do have quite a few privacy addons but I have those same onces on Edge browser and it doesn't seem to do this.

I should mention that this does not really happen on my desktop computer. Only the laptop. It's a Vivobook with an integrated GPU so that might be the problem. The thing is: this really does not happen with Edge.

on new versions all is ok.

 

nope is not ...i still have ministutters on youtube 4k

idk what exact ministutters is, but check cpu/gpu loading in performance monitor. also some another processes like default windows antivirus may affect. ministutters is not the problem i was originally posted about.

and if i said that there are no problems - there are no problems for me. dont tell me im wrong cause im not. dont argue with me. create ur own thread and post ur problems there.

Same here too. Youtube become very very laggy. Every video has loadings in them, with a broadband internet. Very disturbing.

Just guessing but it seems to be a buffering issue. I just switch to Edge to watch any HQ vids.

I also met similar issue, it cost >20sec to open a new youtube tab after the last FF update.
I found the youtube cookie size become 1.5GB.
After removed the youtube cookie and clear cache data, this issue was gone.

totally agree seems like video is loading. I even turned on troubleshooting mode so it is definately the browser. this NEEDS to be fixed ASAP! also after 3 minutes or so it lags again. did speed tests on internet to check my connection. no problem with connection. even playing twitch on the side. seems to be only YOUTUBE.

I've been facing the same issue after updating YouTube lags significantly when I try to watch product videos for my store on Weight Lifting Belt. Even after reinstalling Firefox and clearing both the browser and Windows cache, the problem persists. This seems to have started with the latest update, and it's really frustrating. Any ideas on how to fix this? 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁

So choppy, so sad! YT used to work just smooth and fine on FF but something has happened, possibly due to an update like others have pointed out. YT on Chrome works right but that's not a real solution because FF is and always has been the better option (except in this case I guess.)

 

FIX? FIX!
