What's wrong with my video playback?

Factual Questions
1

When playing videos from YouTube or Amazon Prime, the picture will freeze (the sound continues on) and won’t resume unless I keep the cursor moving over the video. Using Firefox if that makes a diff.
Thanks for any ideas- it’s driving me nuts :mad:

sooooo many variables you haven’t mentioned…

OS? Version of your browser? full screen or default size? about three or four more questions, but let’s just cut to the chase:

Have you tried other browsers?
have you updated to latest browser version?
Have you performed all updates to your OS?
Have you performed a driver update on your video card/onboard video?

There’s a start…

10+ year old computer is your problem.

You can TRY and update your video card, but in all honesty, the mid-rage video card today is probably more powerful (CPU-wise) than your computer…

Yeah, that’s what I thought, but since others had reported problems with videos & Firefox I hoped there be a fix. I don’t have a video card and can’t get one, just the onboard video.

Thanks
