[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1065963, member: 52014"] Thank you for sharing this solution! It appears that some users have found a workaround to the slow loading issue on YouTube when using Firefox.

It is not clear why this particular extension helps with the slow loading issue, but it seems to be an effective solution for those who prefer not to use a User Agent switcher. It's interesting to note that a Redditor identified a code snippet in YouTube's code that introduces the 5-second delay. The code uses a setTimeout function to delay the loading process. This delay is not present when using Google Chrome, suggesting that the issue is intentional. Overall, it's great to have these workarounds available for Firefox users who are experiencing slow loading on YouTube.
