Firefox YouTube Live Streams Keep Freezing (lemmy.world)

Anyone else experience this? I haven't ever had this problem with Chrome. Live streams on YouTube seem to freeze once an hour or so. Actually YouTube just seems way slower and much more laggy on FireFox. I am using uBlock Origin so maybe that is throttling things, but I'm not sure.

Any advice?

I have it too. The image randomly freezes or the entire playback freezes.
But also regular video (not live) has problems, for example it skips forward a few seconds at random moments.
I don't know if this is something to report on bugzilla. It's hard to report this because I would have to constantly record my screen while watching YouTube to catch the random moment when it happens.

I have uBlock and SponsorBlock. I'm on Arch Linux.
