Since Firefox updated to version 41 and 42, my Gmail freezes/locks up when I click on some videos and photos. I am able to view the same videos and photos when using Chrome so it has to be within Firefox. How do I stop this issue in Firefox?

I don't use Flash. I have a new HP desktop I7 Quad Core computer with up-to-date drivers. When I use Chrome and NOT Firefox, the videos play!!! I am not computer savvy so I need an easy fix and not a complicated one.
