I have serious video playing issues on Firefox. I thought it was ublock, so i tried turning it off but video and live streams still take forever to load they freeze, too. My computer is very powerful so that’s not the issue. No idea what is.

Running Linux? Graphic drivers all updated and is FF updated?
Nah, im on windows 10, unfortunately.
Very strange what sites cause issues?
Youtube, mainly
Have you turned off Firefox’s built-in enhanced tracking protection? If not, turn it off but leave uBlock Origin on and see if that solves your issue.
