What can I do to stop Firefox from lagging on movies like on youtube?
I normally have quite a lot of lag when I'm watching movies on youtube or (for the dutch people) dumpert. When I use another browser to watch the video, I don't have any lag at all.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Update your graphic card driver.
My graphic card is a Geforce and the problem was fix after the update installation and a computer reboot.
