video lags, 1 solution is build in flash plugin like in waterfox or chrome, its impossible for user to fix, my OS: Win 8.1 all worked fine in waterfox until update 35.0, it got memory leak after that, well it had small memory leak before, but after last update id got worse

i have tried meany things, & i'm not talking about YouTube, i'm talking about anime watching AuEngien & MP4Upload as 2 examples

i have 1sec or 2sec video freeze & then it speeds up to make even the 1sec - 2sec

Chosen solution

I figured out how to make Flash run in a single core of your CPU without having to change the affinity in Task Manager manually! You can re-enable protected mode of Flash now. Just follow my instructions on how to disable protected mode except change the value of the setting to False. To make Flash run in a single core, follow the instructions in this video (I put this together "quickly" so forgive me. It actually took me one and a half of an hour to complete it which you probably wouldn't have guessed alone because it looks like a 6 year old put it together): http://youtu.be/F210MyTgZZE Just a quick note: if you update Adobe Flash Player, you might need to repeat the process that I showed you in the video after updating it.

how is it possible that today i am suddenly automatically switched back to Flash on youtube, i guess u remember small screen issue with HTML5 that i mentioned, but i had no option of changing it back to flash at the link u gave me, & new i am automatically back, can Mozilla change my settings if they see that 1 update messed something up? do they have that power? do they monitor this forum? well just new i got new update, they have been updating pretty often this 2 times, i noticed the HTML5 change before update, but no update notification again WTH? i just happened to go in about firefox, that's how i noticed it, at morning it was still HML5

about memory leak, seem it kind of is under control new, it starts to leak memory, but then at one point it releases it, like they put a bandages on it & not cured it, it still seems like memory leak, but even the bandages that are placed right new are good
