Firefox works fine as long as I don't try to watch video footage. Even when opening a website with some minor moving images (i.e. a company website with a small video) the browser stops working. Only way to continue is leaving it by using ctr+alt+delete and avoid that particular website. There's probably something wrong in my settings, but I don't know where to start. Any help and suggestion is much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
