Firefox is awfully slow with YouTube?

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
