Sometimes when I load another youtube video the text is correct but the video is the last video I played.
On 72.0.2 (64-bit) Mint 1.0
I sometimes find that when I load a new youtube video having already watched one previous that the page itself is correct but the video itself is the previous video. The title and comments and everything are all for the new video. The video is the previous video. It's using html5 video. I have to go back and reselect the video I want then it plays correctly.

- How to clear the Firefox cache {web link}
If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?
While you are in safe mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
How to disable Hardware Acceleration {web link}
Thanks for the reply.
I had previously tried removing cookies, clearing the cache, running in safe mode with no addons running. Reinstalling Firefox and creating a new profile.
I also tried it with no hardware acceleration and even tried a different graphics driver, different window manager and compositor.
I might however see if I can install a non mint version of Firefox as I'm getting it from the Mint software manager.
