Hi

 

I'm not sure if this is the right section but is there any way to force youtube to do 30fps in firefox for both 1080p and 720p as my laptop is a potato. I dont mind installing a plugin but dont want a seperate program.

 

Thanks

I thought that it was only Google Chrome that did 60fps in 720p and 1080p videos and that firefox was still using 30fps.

 

Also I am unsure if there is a way to force it unless you watch in a lower resolution like 480p.

Don't click the 720p60 or 1080p60 setting in Youtube. The rest should automatically be 30.

I think it was a recent update that added support for 60fps or it could be because im using the html5 player.

Thanks, that works.
