Problems with youtube and facebook games loading since last update

[BrianMitch]

Since the last update as of 3/28/26, I have been having trouble loading and playing youtube videos. I can usually play one video then if I try to click on any others , firefox locks up and won't load anything.  The same thing is happening in facebook games like pool and scrabble.  Can play first game then won't load anything after that.

Since the last update, YouTube videos and Facebook games load once but then freeze in Firefox; clearing cache or disabling extensions can help, similar to how a UYT to UTC time converter ensures accurate timing.

That sounds frustrating, especially since the issue seems to affect multiple sites rather than a single service. If YouTube videos and Facebook games both work initially but then stop loading, it might be worth checking whether a recent browser update introduced a problem with caching, hardware acceleration, or a browser extension.

I've seen somewhat similar behavior when running browser-based games and media-heavy sites. For example, while reading guides and community content related to Stick War Legacy on StickWarMods, I've occasionally noticed that browser performance issues tend to become more apparent after several tabs, videos, or game sessions have been open for a while. Clearing the browser cache or testing in a fresh profile sometimes helps identify whether the problem is related to Firefox itself or to an extension.

Have you tried running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode or disabling hardware acceleration to see if the issue persists? It would also be helpful to know whether the problem occurs only after the recent update or if it happens in a clean browser profile as well.

The problem has seemed to mostly resolve itself after a few weeks.  Have seen it once in a while since, but a reload usually fixes it.
