YouTube has quite a few bugs in Firefox. I actually prefer air, what's wrong with it?

  YouTube works fine in Firefox. I use it all the time. It works well in mobile firefox as well.

      That bug was YouTube's fault.

        That's why I said that YouTube has quite a few bugs in Firefox ;)

  Youtube lets me watch at 1.5 to 2x speed.

    So does all HTML5 video, it just doesn't show the controls. Here's my bookmarklet (doesn't work on embedded videos in iframes, I assume because of same-origin-policy) javascript:void%20function(){document.querySelector(%22video%22).playbackRate=parseFloat(prompt(%22Set%20the%20playback%20rate%22))}();

      > So does all HTML5 video When there's the bandwidth to serve it, air often fails to load fast enough for 1x.

        YouTube isn't the fastest here in Germany either. For example the Telekom (Germany's largest ISP) has bandwidth troubles with YouTube from time to time (because of some backbone bottleneck). I could only find a German blog post about this, but I have definitely experienced this myself: http://stadt-bremerhaven.de/telekom-aeussert-sich-zu-youtube-ladezeiten/ http://stadt-bremerhaven.de/telekom-aeussert-sich-zu-youtube...
