I am sorry maybe I ve got stupid question but I cant solve my problem all day ... Suddenly from yesterday my quality of yotube videos gone from 480p(also a bigger player size) to 360p (smaller player size - the same like on the picture) . So all the time when I enter youtube the default is 360p and small player size . Could you please tell me how can I change back to bigger player size and 480p ? I also check youtube in other browsers and it works just fine 480p default with bigger player size ...Thanks in advance

This is an option set in the browser, so it would not effect your other browsers. To change it, go to youtube.com, select a movie you would like to watch, then click the gear icon at the bottom. It will then show the current settings for speed and quality of the movie. To change the setting, simply click the "360p" and it will then give you the other definition options. See screenshot if these directions do not make sense.

Have a great day!!

I know that ... But I ve got another problem ... the problem is that when I am opening youtube on chrome for example my default its 480p and lager player size . So that means that is something wrong with my firefox browser. You can see the difference in the screenshots .

No . The thing is that I can change the quality and that isnt a problem , but the problem is that the video size is not changing all the time the size stays like 360p . do you understand me ?

So you get a bigger frame but the video in it is the same size? I think that depends on the video. I see that sometimes. The newer videos are larger, but the older ones are smaller.
