Youtube Audio keep reloading/overlapping?

For the past few days, whenever I load a Youtube™ video, the audio will start up normally for a few seconds before another copy of the audio starts playing a few moments behind the first. This keeps repeating until the video becomes a jumble of overlapping noise!

The problem only seems to occur when I use the latest edition of Firefox™, I was able to view videos just fine when I tried it in Internet Explorer™. When I look at my browser tabs, it appears that the page is connecting and re-connecting repeatedly without the page being refreshed.

Is this a problem with the latest Firefox™ update? The problem did not start immediately upon updating, so I'm not sure. Or something in the settings that makes it keep loading the audio over and over?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

ps. I'm on my work computer atm not my home one that it's happening to, I cannot look a Youtube™ here.

Please Help Me as I cant watch ANY Youtube due to the audio reloading bug.

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

just an update, I Closed FF and then started it in Safe mode with No Addon and tried a Youtube™ video and it played like it should with no problems. So I closed FF and reloaded FF in normal mode and it did the same Audio reloading/overlapping in Youtube™. I'm suspecting an Addon that may of been updated or when FF was updated could be the cause.

I'm going to turn each Addon off And reload a Youtube™ page to see if i can eliminate the Addon in question. What do you think?

Ok I found the culprit, it was a Greesemonkey™ script - Youtube HD Ultimate. Not GreeseMonkey™ it's self just a script.

Thank you for your help, Have a great day/night. :-)
