Found this after I got tired of my videos freezing for a second or two every 20 or so seconds, so I thought I'd share!

The lag was caused by Firefox's session saving feature. A simple and fast change in it and "poof" went the lag.

* Open Firefox and type in "about:config" (without the ") in the Address Bar and hit Enter.
* Type in "session" in the "Filter" line at the top of the list.
* Find “browser.sessionstore.interval” and double click it. The 10000 milliseconds (equals 10 seconds) is the interval in which Firefox keeps saving your session in case of a crash; same amount of time between video lags.
* Change it to something different. 120000 equals 2 minutes, 300000 equals 5 minutes or something else you desire. I went with 600000 (10 minutes), because I don’t particularly care about session saving.


I restarted Firefox and it doesn't lag now!

If this really works for me I will dance around in my living room bowing down to you! My partner's computer is so slow on Firefox... I am hoping this will fix it!!

Thank you thank you thank you!
