Stuttering videos on some websites

Whenever I try to play a video in Firefox, the video seems a bit laggy/it stutters. This is very annoying since it makes me impossible to watch a movie online. This, for some reason, doesn't happen on youtube. The thing that it's strange to me, it's that this issue is more noticeable on some websites than others and that the intensity of the micro lag varies depending on the website.

I already tried running Firefox in safe mode and disabling hardware acceleration in about:preferences, and I'm sure it's not a bandwith issue since I tried it with multiple connections up to 70Mbps DL.

I'm running Firefox 95.0.2 (RPM version) on Fedora 35, if that helps

Chosen solution

I found this reddit post with the same issue, and it works.

It basically said to install additional codecs for Fedora using these two commands:

sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin

sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video

and then reboot the system.
