Again, the problem they're having is not just YouTube, it's the system they're running. It's a socket 775 Xeon Quad core. It's held it's usefulness like a champ and proven a very long-lived platform, but it's at the end of it's useful lifespan for modern tasks. That fact sucks, but it's how tech works.

I know, my comment was aimed at that point, code isnt the same now as it was in that era.

It's weird that chrome works as FF lags a bit on the site but at least other site work fine on FF (twitch/Hulu) 720p works fine on FF though

Try to double check which codec is in use in firefox at 1080p, it may not be serving h264 at that resolution.

Twitch/hulu use h264 as far as I'm aware.

I have been using YouTube and Dailymotion forever, i always use an ablock and never is slow for me for both chrome or firefox. I stop using Youtube for channel use/upload videos, etc. I only use YT to watch a few videos now. I always use Dailymotion for my main channel use/uploading, watching videos, etc. Dailymotion is way better, but you need an adblock for both channels.
