For the past four days Firefox is awfully slow with YouTube. Video buffering isn't affected, however every page takes twice as much to load than it did before. I just upgraded to Firefox 14 but it didn't solve the problem.

I have the latest flash version and use Windows XP. YouTube runs just fine on Chrome, but lags with Firefox. I really don't feel like switching over to Chrome. Any suggestions?

I cleaned my registry a few days /before/ this started happening. Could it be relevant? The lagging didn't start right after I did that.

I'm desperate. ;o;

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Truth is I had Flash 10.1 when the problem occured because by computer doesn't seem to want to co-operate with any other. In the middle of watching a video it would freeze out with any recent version and I would have to restart. So yeah, when the lag kicked in, I thought to upgrade to the latest one but that didn't fix anything. So now I'm back to Flash 10.1
