Firefox Youtube Buffering Problem
After I watch about two hours Youtube video for a period of time using Firefox, it stops buffering. I have to reload the page to continue watching and then it stops buffering again. I found that there is no problem using IE. Is there something wrong with Firefox?
P/S: I'm using the latest version of Firefox and Flash.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- check for updates for your graphics drive drivers
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration - disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
