Over the past week or so, Youtube videos take a while to start, and will at times just stop and buffer. I turned off uBlock Origin for Youtube, and I have Youtube Premium, but this issue is still happening. Ookla speed test is 569.32 Mbps download, and 23.50 Mbps upload. My Firefox is set to automatically update. Current version is 127.0.1

We know that they're sabotaging Firefox, but we've found a solution that will be introduced in version 127.0.2.

I've heard that people feel like YouTube is targeting Firefox, but I didn't realize it was true to the point an update may resolve it. So just wait on that update for now?

Yes, I guess it comes out on Tuesday.
