@ Moonraker

I visit YouTube a lot since I do research on various topics. I have never experienced the glitch problems you are having with YouTube in any version of linux Pale Moon. Most of the videos I watch on YT are with HD settings too. As examples, I've listed a few YT videos below for Surfside, Texas when I was doing research on finding the best places on the upper Texas coast for sup surfing waves with my four sup boards.

In my opinion, the problems you are having on YouTube with linux Pale Moon is not a glitch with the browser. The problem is on your end someplace else.

At the time of this posting, I'm using 64 bit linux Pale Moon 28.9.3 running in 64 bit linux Mint 19.3 (Tricia) Xfce. The only addons/extensions I use are NoSquint and uBlock Origin with UBO enabled for YouTube. YT sees my user agent mode as Firefox Compatibility.

Since this is an almost 10 year old desktop tower computer, I have hardware acceleration disabled (turned off). It is also using an old AMD Radeon HD 6450 graphics card. And it is using the generic Nouveau graphics driver. And lastly, it also has 16 GB of memory in it with an old Intel i7 processor with a processor speed of (2.80).

Apologising for (potentially) wasting people's time is hardly throwing away your dignity.
