i have over a dozen addons in firefox, several user scripts (including ones that run on yt). i never log in.
i can q-up a days-long playlist and it'll just go and go. no problems.
Can you also watch twitch at 1080p without lag? Maybe you don't watch it, but I always had problems with that. Chrome works perfectly on twitch but not Firefox
Firefox plays 1080p twitch streams just fine for me on several machines.
Hmmm, maybe my PC just sucks :'/
It could be many things.
Do you have a lot of extensions enabled?
Is your Firefox updated?
Is xmp or docp enabled so your ram is running at the right speeds?
Is hardware acceleration enabled/disabled in firefox?
Have you tried a fresh firefox profile/install? you could try downloading a beta/dev version and testing with that.
I have like 9 extensions, Firefox is always updated. I don't know but I have 8gb ddr2 ram (10 year old PC), I don't think I enabled hardware acceleration. I have not tried a new install.
i can watch 1080p content just fine on my geriatric pc (1st gen lynnfield), and even do h264 encoding in realtime or faster (sw ffmpeg), but discord and twitch just flat-out suck on it.
I watch twitch at 1080p and YouTube at 4K with Firefox on Windows and Linux (same PC) without issue.
