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.
That's bizarre. I am also on Windows 10 and use Firefox as my primary browser, largely because I can stream DRM'd video sites (Netflix etc) to my friends on discord.
Sounds dumb, but have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? I might suggest also removing or disabling all extensions to see if that does anything.
Running Linux? Graphic drivers all updated and is FF updated?
Nah, im on windows 10, unfortunately.
Very strange what sites cause issues?
Youtube, mainly
Google is actively sabotaging for Firefox users.

Can't list all the examples of this but they are a scumbag company.
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.
drivers all up to date?
Yeah I think so
You may want to try disabling DNS over https as that was causing similar issues for me https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-https
I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
I guess there is an option to activate to read DRM content (it exists on librewolf, not sure if it is there on Firefox too). it is activated ?
I am on Linux and Firefox works better than chrome for my system
