I restarted FF. Success! Playback is smooth with no audio issues. No firewall or hosts issues.
I disabled my Flash forcing Addon: Flash Player 1.8.0
I installed YouTube ALL HTML5 3.1.1 and set it for 720, stop Autoplay, Open Description etc.
Saved zip of plugin for possible future manual install.
Excellent. Thank you!
On one of my single CPU 3.2GHz machines the audio is too choppy even in 360. It also refused to change to a lower res when selected from the list. Will make that sys Flash.
Had I not found this I would probably be back in my Firefox 28 setup. After fixing dozens of Mozilla design horrors I was starting to like some of the FF 45 customizations I was able to do but after many Flash related crashes with the plugin container I went back to 28 with some new ideas for further enhancements starting with a compact Addons page via 2 Stylish scripts.
To continue to evaluate Firefox 45 ESR I really had to get rid of the plugin-container.exe crashes so this is great.
I have been putting off setting up a Win7 machine but I have a Samsung 850 Pro SSD I want to try. I am hoping I can find a way to relocate user profile drive activity off the SSD otherwise I will end up setting up a Win7 system.
Mouse Wheel Volume Control (Hor. (or vert.): Set YT vol to 75 or 100 via Addon such as ALL HTML5 3.1.1 and Install Volumouse program. Create a Volume control fader over specified application and enter Mozilla Firefox as app name. Set to horizontal, step 4000, and activate with right mouse button held + wheel, over app. Works great. Useful when full screen. Can also set up a decent Balance control (OSD). I have a Vertical Vol. control via wheel over desktop. Over titlebar another changes brightness. XMPlay has built-in wheel vol.
A nice surprise was logging in here and it worked! I last tried 3 or 4 years ago and my account was not found. Amazing.
Thank you again!
