Did you all noticed from recently that youtube is giving only lov quality opcion (360p) in mozilla firefox, despite youtuber uploaded that video in high quality (1080p)…?
I think this is another move where they are using monopoly to ruin firefox and leave only chrome as only webbrowser…
First time i thought hm this is strange why is this video in so poor quality and i saw that only 360p opcion iz awailable. This youtuber for sure wouldnt upload video in this bad quality so i copied the link and pasted it in another browser chrome and it showed in 1080p and good quality and everything was normal. So i think its must be on purpose to ruin firefox.


Firefox with youtube on in the background. Just looked and it’s 1080p.
Yea for most videos it probably is but for a lot of them it started doing this. If i copy the link, paste it in Brave for example (same web engine as google chrome) and it shows all the opcions from 1080p to 360p it clearly isnt problem with video, in in youtube chosing to work diferently depending on the browser…
