How to Fix Annoying YouTube Jumpiness in Firefox

Many users, myself included, visit YouTube on an almost daily basis. Ever since Firefox version 2.0 implemented the session restore function, when you are watching a video on YouTube (perhaps on other video sites as well, I haven't really tested that), you may notice a tiny freeze-up of the video every 10 seconds or so. This happens because the session restore is by default set to save all open tabs every 10 seconds. This is especially noticeable if you happen to have a lot of tabs open at once.

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.

What does IE looks like if it wants to be a Firefox?


... the good ol' Yahoo/Aol era. Oh p.S. Chrome is twice as fast as firefox and 30% fast as Mac Safari. But u know wat. We still love our firefox having custimize skin and Ad Block. They got none of that ^^

Download Youtube videos (Without Software)







So you've seen an awesome video and you want to download it right? But then you realize, this is youtube we're talking about, you can't just click and download. Well think again. I came across this during my downloading rage, it doesn't require you to download any software either. Visit the link below and follow exactly as it says. Enjoy guys. MP4s for ALL!

P.S. Not all videos work after you download them. But it's worth a shot. Also I suggest putting the bookmark on the Bookmarks tab if you have firefox to make downloading as easy as 1 click.
