i have Pentium d 925 3ghz dual core, GeForce 210, Windows 10 Pro, and a good internet connection. Recently i started to lag really hard on youtube videos, playing at 720. I always watched videos in 720pp, on windows xp, vista, 7 ultimate, and even after the upgrade, i didn't had any lag. Now i lag like hell, after the first 3 seconds the cpu goes insane, firefox is consuming 95% of cpu power. I had to downgrade to firefox 39 and install html5 disablers just to watch a video... here is some info about my firefox: Application Basics

Does toggling addons while watching youtube videos make a difference? For example, Adblocker?
