Firefox, current, is really slow on video rendering. Youtube on 1080p kinda freezes at times. Same video works perfectly in Chrome

Im on Win10, this happenened on win8.1 aswell.



Are you sure it's not just YouTube? Alphabet's arbitrarily changed YT's behaviour based on the browser's UA string in the past, and used deprecated APIs only implemented in Chrome.


Youtube was updated to the v1 quite some time ago with a fresh Polymer version

>Polymer.version

3.4.1


This isn’t generally true. You might want to try disabling WebM to see if it’s something like falling back to software rendering.
