I tried it and it didnt work, I have also tried safe mode several of times, but the same issue is still happening

I have no idea what the heck youtube is doing again, but apparently they've set users up for a new layout (again....it happens automatically when you log in) which made ff nightly freeze, i switched back to the old youtube option, which i only just saw today............and it worked, it isnt freezing anymore and its working flawlessly

so about 4 days ago youtube started to randomly freeze and semi-crash on all browsers i got (chrome, firefox nightly and microsoft edge.) it kind of freezes and i get this message below the url bar "a web page is slowing down your browser what do you want to do" but i have no other page open, i have refreshed, restarted and been in safe mode, but its still happening. i have also been around and trying to fix it via about:config, that people in the forums have suggested. i even reinstalled windows incase that was the issue, im not a techy person at all, but i have looked, i feel like, all over the internet and the forum(s) for answers and i have tried the majority of them, but nothing seems to work. whats also weird is that ever since i reinstalled windows, firefox seems to crash (it didnt before the reinstall) and act slower too. and as i was typing this i got a crash report (0c1aa423-b483-43b8-9a36-9c8c33d374f0) nightly is up to date and so is chrome. but anyways, i have added a screenshot of what it looks like... does anybody know how to fix this damn youtube freezing situation?

I have the exact same issue and have read all there is to read and have taken all the same steps you describe but nobody seems to have a fix. This just started happening last week with the recent Firefox version release. We can hope there will be a fix in the next update.

Me too. Nobody has a clue what's going on. It's not fixable with any combination of Firefox setting adjustments. ANY!

This does not fix the issue. Further assistance is needed.
