FF sound lags behind youtube video
Recently patched Centos. This is the browser that comes with the Centos release.
FF 95.0 (64-bit)

Classic (X11 display server)
AND
Wayland
are BOTH doing this, though X11 is less of a problem.
Start firefox, go to youtube. Run a video with voices.
Start a 2nd window of firefox. Youtube, go to bestbuy.com . For me, under X11, about as quickly as bestbuy.com opens up, the sound in the first window begins to lag the video. If I stop the first video, the buffered up sound plays until it catches up with the stopped video. If I re-start the video, the sound doesn't begin right away -- the sound continues to lag.

I'm not able to replicate your issue. What are the specs or your machine. Also verify that you have current ffmpegs and libav updates. see screenshot

I thought I mentioned this -- this is centos 8, which appears as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5

Try downloading another copy of Firefox and run it from the folder. Do not sign into your Firefox account and see if you have the same issue.

No joy.
(sorry for the slowness in the reply.)
I'm wondering if there could be some sort of cache or buffer not part of firefox that's doing this. Possible?
i fired up the other browser and it didn't pick up the "old" browser's defaults, which I regard as proper. I started a youtube video, and then opened bestbuy.com (mouser.com also does this, as do others, but those two have been most reliable at producing the problem) and, bang, the audio part of the video jumped backward in time. I stopped the video and the audio played until it caught up with the stopped video. So, exactly the same problem.
