In every and all youtube videos I watch, the video jumps and freezes five seconds in while the audio plays, and then when the audio reaches five seconds, the video starts to play and they're in sync.

I've tried to refresh Firefox but the problem still remains, I have the latests Firefox update, I've tried youtube on Chrome and didn't have the same problem, and everything works fine when I try it on my phone.

I appreciate any and all help :)
