Requesting an update for Youtube on Firefox
I have tested youtube on other browsers such a Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, Firefox is the only browser that I am suffering issues with that youtube does not buffer videos or indefinitely pauses unless I refresh the page. I loose connection with the ability to be able to type in the comment box of youtube, the keys on my keyboard work however I can not type into the box.
I have tested this on other browsers with no issues.
Please update as it has been a reoccurring issue and I must use other browsers to view youtube.
Thank you.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

- Cache; Select Advanced > Network. Across from Cached Web Content, Press Clear Now.
If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;
Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.
Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.
I have a lot of saved tabs and I don't want to risk starting in safe mode as I don't want to loose them.
Also the cookie clearing did not resolve the issue.
Thank you.
