Please i have a request, sometimes the internet connection becomes very low and the playback of the video streaming becomes painful and jerk and manu interruptions because there is no full buffering of streaming video, it will be great if our beleoved pale moon browser adds an option that can be activated quickly through The toolbar to activate or disavow the Full Buffering of the Whole Video Until The End, I did some research to try to make the full buffering on Firefox, here is the result of my research but the problems sometimes I can buffer video even on YouTube, sometimes when I
set media.mediasource.eabled to false,
some videos on my favorite streaming site do not play, that is why I asked for an option to be able to activate /deactivate the full buffer of the video if we meet a playback problem: here is my favorite streaming site where I have tested these parameters, sometimes when I
set browser.cache.disk.enable, browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled, browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl and browser.cache.offline.enable to false,
I can buffer full video when i disable cache ssl ..... thank you very much !
It will also be moving to add an option to quickly increase the size of the network cache and media cache because maybe it can be effective for live streaming when we watch live football or basketball games and we have a low connection, and also add quick option in the toolbar to enable/disable the Disk cache and just use the RAM Memory because sometimes we have an old worn HDD hard drive which can be slow so put the cache in the RAM Memory becomes an inexpensive option! Thanks a lot

Buffer full video or make buffer bigger
There is an easy fix for it just increase media.cache_readhead_limit to 9999 and media.cache_resume_treshold also to 9999. This was also puzzling me since firefox 54 would buffer till the end of the video but firefox 55 wouldn't, so I went trough the about:config and found those two lines once I chagned their values from (60, 30) to those above every single video I opened in firefox so far buffered till the end, you don't even need to restart the firefox just refresh the page for changes to take the effect. Hope this helped.
cache_readahead_limit: 999999
cache_resume_threshold: 999999
to
cache_readahead_limit: 60
cache_resume_threshold: 30
media.cache_readahead_limit
media.cache_readahead_limit.cellular
media.cache_resume_threshold
media.cache_resume_threshold.cellular
Increase the size of media.cache_size (default 512000 cellular 32768)
Maximize your "browser.cache.disk.capacity" (type "about:config" in Firefox) if you are loading long videos
You can set media.mediasource.enabled to false. If a site's video playback breaks, try to revert this option back to the default, before anything else.
Set media.mediasource.enabled to false so it works on Youtube
Firefox only on RAM
Switched browser cache from disk (SSD) to RAM, about:cache still displaying in disk too
set browser.cache.disk.enable, browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled, browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl and browser.cache.offline.enable to false
activate the entry browser.cache.memory.enable -> true
set the entry browser.cache.memory.capacity to -1 for automatic adjustment
Reason: Writing down every data to the HDD/SSD is slow & costs lifetime (SSD).
Using DRAM is much faster than fastest M.2 SSDs and saves TBW of SSDs!
It speeds up the internet traffic, but you need enough RAM to use this option with many tabs and other tasks! And when crashs happend, some more data could get lost.
4. (optional) set browser.cache.cache_isolation to true for safety of your personal data.
Type in about:cache to see the result. You could compare before and after with that.

There are some cache max prefs on the about:config page that would suggest 50 MB.
I've always disabled browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled and set browser.cache.disk.capacity to 1048576
browser.cache.disk.max
browser.cache.disk.max_entry_size = 51200 // 50 MB
turn off [browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled] and [browser.cache.disk.enable],
If you increase [browser.cache.memory.max_entry_size] to 1048576
- browser.cache.disk.enable = false
(désactive le cache disk)
- browser.cache.disk.capacity = 0
(interdit le cache disk)
- browser.cache.memory.enable = true
(active le cache de la ram, accélère Mozilla)
- browser.cache.memory.capacity ou browser.cache.memory.max_entry_size = 20000 (Ram for cache)
- browser.cache.offline.enable = false
(Désactive le cache offline)
- browser.cache.offline.capacity = 0
(interdit le cache offline)
- network.http.sendRefererHeader = 0
(n'informe pas le site de vos ancien site visité)
- network.prefetch-next = false
(Ne stock rien dans le cache)
I set browser.cache.disk.capacity = 0 and my Win10 Firefox is much faster
