Firefox update v57.0 has forced youtube into HD mode on my desktop.

This is chomping up my data at an alarming speed. Considering I only have 25gb per month this will be gone in a few days. I need SD mode back.

I know there used to be youtube settings to throttle the data usage on desktop but they disappeared a long time ago. I cannot force youtube to turn off auto video selection, it keeps re-sizing the video from small into larger HD mode.

I have tested Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer and they are unchanged, youtube is still being played in SD mode. So its not youtube, its firefox.

Help!

Firefox updated to v57.0 and youtube updated to a new version on the same day!! OMG I can't believe how bad the timing was!

So all the blame lies with google and youtube again for updating at will and providing no guidance or explanation.

Absolutely zero blame attributed to firefox!
