Can't watch youtube videos in 720p or 1080p in firefox
I don't know what's causing it, but whenever I set a YouTube video quality to 720p or 1080p Firefox slows down drastically and the video will freeze frequently and get quite jerky. When I put the video into fullscreen on 720p or 1080p, it slows down monumentally more... as in it takes a few seconds to pause when I click or hit spacebar & it takes a few seconds for the UI to show up.
If I wait for the ENTIRE video to load, it will continue to play fine. I just don't know why it's being slowed down so much. I checked activity monitor and CPU usage is high but it's not capped, it's around 60-80% in these cases. I've already tried Resetting Firefox and updating Flash Player. Memory is typically between 30-50% usage.
My computer specs are: Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz, 4GB DDR2 RAM, GeForce GTX 560 1GB
hardware acceleration is on. Any ideas what's slowing it down and what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

Bump :S
Also my internet is 50Mbps down, forgot to mention that. So I don't know what the problem is? My computer & internet should be fine but I can't watch 720p or 1080p videos unless I wait for the whole thing to load first :s
Works fine in Google Chrome though
