Jerky You Tube Videos

Post by Lee Baucum »

You Tube videos no longer play smoothly on my computer, particularly in Full Screen.

I'm using Fire Fox.

Perhaps my really old computer running on XP?

Lee,
I have the same problem with Firefox.
If I run them on Explorer, no problem.
I'm also running XP.

I find that overall performance in FF gets dodgy if I've got too many tabs open or have been on a session for too long---memory % (in the task manager) gets high. I shut down FF from the task manager (end task) and start a new session.

One of the symptoms of this over-burdened FF session is poor youtube performance.

Maybe this helps?
