Opposite experience here. Long time Firefox user and in the past 3 years it's gotten incredibly bad for me as sites have gone more JS heavy, and video in particular has become a huge problem for my Firefox install it seems. Major sites like Youtube (~25% of videos get an error, forcing me to open in chrome), Reddit (yeah this one sucks for everyone, but at least loads on chrome if you have a high end pc+connection, which i do) and Instagram can't be reliably used for watching video. For years i used Firefox with a bunch of privacy/security-hardening settings but I've had to undo a lot of it to even use the web as of recent as the number of broken websites was getting too ridiculous.
- DangitBobby 4y agoThis doesn't really sound like a FireFox problem. Not sure how it could be their fault that installing extensions which intentionally disable parts of the browser required to run the websites you use breaks things. Literally none of those websites ever have any problems on any of the computers my family uses FF on, running UBlock Origin.
- wolongong942 4y agoUblock origin is my only extension and this is a fresh install with no about:config changes.
- aembleton 4y agoI've never seen a YouTube video not play on Firefox. What does the error say? Can you give an example URL?
