For the last several weeks (can't give an exact date, but it's been more than just a couple weeks, less than a couple months), both my husband and I have had issues loading videos in FF. We both have the latest version of FF. I went thru "Fix common audio and video issues" and did all those things, as well as trying to load the videos in troubleshooting mode. Nothing has helped (tho now that i cleared all the cache, i'm gonna have to log back into all those websites :( ). Nothing else is problematic. Our internet connection is fine. In fact, my husband has resorted to using MS browser to watch videos--they load fine in that browser. I have no other idea what to do. Searching your database for "youtube videos load slow" only resulted in a couple hits with no resolution. Hopefully this isn't the third. thanks

Well, introduced, encountered. Whichever descriptor fits. It seems it's just mozilla that has this problem with videos, as other browsers my husband has tried work just fine. Am I really the only one with this problem still? :/

You're not the only one. YouTube is still broken for some people with increased DNS-over-HTTPS settings.

If that's your case, please make sure you're using the latest version. Press Alt → Help → About Firefox.

After that, set DoH to Default Protection or add a temporary exception for YouTube:

How do I change my version of mozilla so it's the one before this bug was introduced? Until it actually gets fixed, I will just use an old version of the browser

You mean Mozilla Firefox or Firefox for short ;) as there has not been a web browser called Mozilla for a very long time since the Mozilla suite 1.7.13 released back in 2006. One can still use the suite now days as the community builds SeaMonkey.

Unfortunately, I don't think that's the entire issue. My DNS over HTTPS has been at default settings this whole time. Adding youtube as an exception didn't help. :/

My apologies for using the wrong terminology. To me, mozilla and firefox are synonymous. Dunno what to say lol
