Everytime I try to watch a video on YouTube or even on other sites FireFox lags aprox every 10 seconds. Is annoying. The same thing happens with .gif images.

How can I fix this?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Most of the time problems can be attributed to extensions. You can try starting Firefox with extensions disabled to see if the problem still occurs. See Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode

This can be a problem with session restore. Firefox stores session data every 10 seconds to make it possible to restore a crashed session. If you have (security) software that interferes with that or have many tabs open then that cause cause a delay. Some have reported that increasing the session store saving interval worked for them.
