When I try to play a video on Firefox desktop, it takes it a long time to load. Once it has loaded, whenever I pause it for more than a few seconds, or if I try to skip around the video (either by clicking around in the loaded section of the progress bar or using +/- seconds buttons), the video begins buffering again before the video resumes. This makes it extremely difficult and frustrating to watch anything that requires me to pause, rewind, or fast forward. I've noticed this issue affect multiple video viewing sites, such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Netflix.
My roommate also uses Firefox, but doesn't have this issue, so I know it's not a problem with my internet.
I thought it might be a problem with my computer, but I tried to replicate the issue in Chrome and everything worked fine there.
The issue has persisted almost a week.
I have:
- Rebooted my computer several times
- Deleted my history/cache
- Disabled my extensions
- Turned off Java scripts in firefox (this disabled my ability to load sites like YouTube completely, so I turned it back on)
- Updated my computer
- Updated my graphics drivers
- Refreshed firefox
- Uninstalled and reinstalled firefox (and rebooted my computer)
- Uninstalled and reinstalled firefox AND deleted all the data it stored on my computer (and rebooted my computer)
I am currently using version 123.0.1 of Firefox. My OS is Windows 10 22H2.
