Anyone else notice that youtube videos are a little herky jerky in Firefox?

Also I have notice that Firefox doesn't seem to get bogged down on some facebook pages like Internet Explorer does.

I'm using Windows 2000, don't know if that makes a difference.

I used to notice that with firefox. it happens when the bookmarks toolbar up above fills up with bookmarks. If it gets to the point where it shows an arrow at the end to show more, youtube videos will be jumpy. Delete some so they only fill the page or less, and the jumping will stop.

hmm, can't say that I had a lot of bookmarks in Firefox, in fact I had only a few. However, since I made that post I have upgraded to Windows XP from Windows 2000. Because I couldn't get wireless networking to work under Win2000. And also a newer version if IE. Now the problem does not seem as noticable. Actually, I think with XP that youtube performance in Firefox might be a little better, and a little worse with IE. Probably because as usual with Microsoft, new versions of anything are more resource intensive, whereas it is the opposite with their competitors.

Unfortunately. Once I upgraded to XP, I experience a lot of video corruption with Firefox. Especially on Saddo's. I have an NVidia Riva TNT2 series video card that came with my Dell PIII quite a few years ago. The video corruption only happens with Firefox, go figure. I like Firefox, so eventually I will try and get to the bottom of this, but damn I am getting tired of dicking around with my PC.

However, in spite of the video corruption, Firefox still handles Facebook pages better than Internet Explorer. sigh....
