Hi, i have a very weird problem with Firefox on my MBP 2014 using Yosemite

When i upload a video to youtube using firefox, the speed is capped at 2.0MB/s, but when i upload the very same video using Google Chrome my speed is 2.8/2.9MB/s, then back to Firefox and the speed only reaches 2.0MB/s

Does anybody knows how to fix this? I reinstalled firefox like 10 times, i try firefox in safe mode, i unistalled ALL addons, i tried past versions of firefox 36,35,34,33,32.... i even tried firefox from a removable usb and the problem persists :( i dont know what else i can do.

Using Google Chrome is the solution, full speed ALL the time, but the problem is, i dont like google chrome! i want to use Firefox

Here is a small video showing the problem:

Any help/advise will be greatly appreciated

Finally i found the solution! :eek:

After weeks and weeks of searching, i found the solution by myself.

And here it is to anyone of you having this same frustrating problem.

In firefox, go to about:config and search for: "network.http.spdy.enabled" and change from true to FALSE on all five of them.

This fix the problem with Firefox and upload an https video on youtube.

Now, everytime i upload a video in youtube, my speed is at 2.9MB/s and i get peaks of 3.2-3.3MB/s .... even in chrome my maximun peak is 2.9MB/s!!

Thanks to this page below, i found hte solution:
