Annoying skipping in Youtube videos and Firefox

[Phanataz]

I mainly use Firefox, but i got so annoyed how youtube videos skipped every 10 secs. It wasn't a buffer problem. At first I thought it was YouTube. Then I found this:

Ever notice an annoying, persistent lag every ten seconds or so when you're watching a YouTube (or other) video in Firefox? Reader Bernard Sandberg has, and he's written in with a smart about:config that solves the problem for him.

The quick fix for this problem, at least for my own sake, is to increase the time between each of the saves performed by session restore. By opening about:config in your Firefox address bar, then typing browser.sessionstore.interval in the filter box, you'll see a value of 10000, which is in milliseconds. (Meaning your session is saved every 10 seconds.) I changed this to 300000, or every 5 minutes, as I don't have the urgent need for tab restoration. If you feel like being more on the safe side, try increasing it to something a bit lower, say 120000, or every 2 minutes.

Do you know how many times I've said these words at work?

"The only officially support browser is IE."


Not becuase IE is better, it's just that IE supports all of the services that we provide.....That and it doesn't cause the YouTube jitters.

I have experienced this in IE as well but not very often.
