I wanted to switch from chrome to firefox but I am not able to. Youtube is broken, seriously broken. Many other people have the same issue according to a lengthy and angry reddit post. When I go to youtube, the homepage takes 20 seconds to load and I get a pop up saying a webpage is slowing down my browser. For the 10-20 seconds the browser is trying to load youtube, i cannot do anything like even closing the browser. Some people on reddit pointed out it only does this when you are signed into your google account, I signed out and then my youtube was working fine. Youtube works fine on chrome, my download speed is over 200mbps so that is not the issue.

Version 57.0 (64-bit) Firefox is up to date

Windows 10 Pro x64 (completely up to date) Nvidia GTX 1080 Intel Core i5-4690K @ 4.20GHz 3.50GHz RAM 16.0GB


I cannot seem to upload my image, it just sits there with a spinning wheel. Here is a imgur of the browser trying to load youtube. https://i.imgur.com/gO3JYnV.png
