Anyone else noted that in Firefox 37.01 HTML5 loads annoyingly slowly and the loading keeps sticking several times: in FF36 YouTube video of 4 minutes would be loaded in few seconds, in FF37.01 it takes half the videos length before loading fully.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Still happens, I don't notice any difference at all.

Do you have any problem with other browsers?

See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

Considering this happens only with the latest version of Firefox and not on the earlier ones?

I'm back to using FF 36.04 and it works fine.
