Video streaming lags

[HannesViviers]

Using latest manjaro with firefox 127

While watching movies or series I am getting constant lags while watching. Any reason what will cause this.

Please advise.

Thank you

Have a look here:

Firefox has become inordinately slow starting YouTube videos

Its at least a problem. Its much more resource hungry than alternatives.
