6 Months and YouTube STILL not Working on Firefox
I am wondering is this an issue between Firefox and YouTube as I have three other browsers on my computer and YouTube works fine on them. I prefer the picture in picture option on Firefox. There was a browser update like 6 months ago and after that Youtube doesn't work properly. It loads the page itself but not the video and in the rare moment that the video loads it is at the lowest possible resolution and will play for only around 10 seconds before buffering again.

Can you go to about:profiles, create a new profile and test it there? Thanks.
Are you using content blocking extensions that block YouTube ads as that can be a possible cause to throttle your connection?
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock,NoScript,DuckDuckGo PE,Disconnect,Ghostery,uBlock Origin,Malwarebytes), always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

You can check the connection settings and check for possible issues with a Proxy or VPN service.
- Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings
If you do not need to use a Proxy to connect to internet, select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
