1310255 2012-11-03 05:23:00 Hey there, i have an issue where firefox would often lag/freeze while watching youtube videos...
It makes the videos all stuttery and firefox doesnt register any actions while this happens.
Sometimes it'll go away by itself, other times i have to close the youtube tab and all is good again.
Running windows 8 with the latest firefox + adobe flash player.
3570k, 8GB DDR3, 180GB SSD, GTX660ti
Does this happen to anyone else? Might have to swap to browsers to chrome or similar...
Thanks

1310256 2012-11-03 05:28:00 Could be an addon? Is flash 11.4.402.287 installed?? Have you tried IE to see if it does the same thing? Speedy Gonzales (78)

1310258 2012-11-03 09:14:00 Just been doing some reading -- Seems lots of people are having the same problem.

Its not FF (directly) the cause its the FF Flash plugin, its not fully compatible (according to several sites) with Windows 8 Yet.

IE10 and chrome both come with Flash embedded, that's why they work where FF doesn't sometimes.

Personally I dont use FF on W8, Use either IE, Chrome or Rockmelt ( kind of social media Browser based on Chrome)

1310259 2012-11-03 12:40:00 I have not faced such a problem ever.I personally think that it is a best browser which offers the best and fastest quality for browsing and specially for all the video hosting sites. SteveJ (16937)
