My Firefox browser always have weird lag when playing videos on Youtube website.
It's so annoying.
I've never had this problem on other computers.

currently on G75VW-BBK5 (upgraded HDD to SSD)
Adobe Flash Player, Java, etc. are installed normally (I believe).
All Firefox Plug-ins are disabled except the Adobe Shockwave Flash (required to play videos on Youtube).

anyone..? please help..?

Thanks.

Lagging as in screen tearing? or just slowing down completely?

When video is played, the firefox often slowing down completely.
When it's slowing down, i can hardly click on any buttons in the firefox.
Sometimes the lag is gone, then comes back again in few seconds.

no such problem occured in my Google Chrome browser.

also you might have overlook on updating your flash.

Ever try the quickdial addon? (At least that's what I think it's name is. It allows you to have a number of thumbnails of websites on each tab you set up. I usually only run 3 or 4 tabs anymore with it. 😉 )
