After update to 49, youtube stutters terribly (other videos too)

Hey there. After the last update, Youtube videos started to stress my CPU more than ever. It was always not great, but now it's 90-99%. The plugin container alone takes like 20-30%. 720p videos stutter and the player itself goes to 5-10FPS, 60FPS videos completely lag. My laptop is old but it used to work just fine before the update. 360p vids work fine. As a comparison, YT and flash videos work without any problems on Edge. Firefox stutters with Flash videos, especially streams.

Tried installing h264fy, tried updating all add-ons, tried refreshing and reinstalling Firefox, checking/unchecking hardware acceleration.

Any ideas?

I installed the 48 version, plugin container does not eat up my CPU the way it does with 49, maybe that's the problem? But I wish to avoid using an old version...

No video plays properly in firefox. I have tried disabling webgl and acceleration, but all of them don't help. Moving the mouse while playing helps, but this of course is stupid.

Chrome works. I think I'll try Opera next.
