How to solve youtube videos "pixel-drooling"?
Videos on websites like Youtube are buggy: their pixels sometimes "drool". Look a the picture! Years ago I would have looked for "codec conflict" but nowadays I don't even know if it still exists... Any idea?

Great, the upload didn't work... talk about support! I will upload it once again.
Are you using the HTML5 media player or the default (Flash based) player on YouTube?
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
If a Flash based player is used then you can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash versions.
- make sure you have the latest Flash version:

- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
