Youtube very bad playing

more options

Since a couple of weeks Youtube videos are played very badly - jammed and not smooth at all. This only happens in firefox, in chrome everything runs fine. I have the latest firefox version, I tried modifying hardware acceleration settings back and forth, nothing helps. Running on Windows 11.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

changing to Troubleshoot Mode and then changing back seem to solve the problem, until at some point it appears again and I need to do it again. As if something needs to be reset.

Does it still happen with all your extensions disabled?

It seems so. Also, when it is fixed (after switching to Troubleshoot Mode and then back) it works well even with extensions enabled.
