Abrowser 30 slow html5 video

Hey every one.
I'm having a problem with abrowser 30 that I didn't use to have with previous versions.
Now, after watching a video on youtube using the html5 player for a while, the video starts playing choppy and slow, although the audio sounds right. It even takes a while for the video to stop when I click on pause. Something that I notice is that the buffing circular thing that appears when the video is loading is shown a lot while the video is still playing.
I've tried to make a new abrowser profile but this didn't solve the problem, so I'm sure is not any addon or history issue.
It seems like this happens when watching the video in "720p HD", I'll keep testing and let you know because I'm not so sure.
Thanks.
Well, this seems to happen only on full screen. Exiting the full screen doesn't fix the problem thought. Refreshing the page does momentarily, until the problem comes again after a while.
Yes confirm, this only happens in "720p HD" on full screen. 360p works fine at full screen.
I have notice that html5 videos in abrowser seem to require kind of a lot from the computer, specially in small netbook computers, but this is the first time happing with my laptop.
Using linterna magica or even downloading the same videos played with totem plays smoothly at 720p even in old computers. So I wonder why abrowser has so many problems playing webm videos.
oh well, hopefully could give me some ideas.
I don't know but I think it's Mozilla Firefox problem. This consumes a lot of CPU and RAM.
Years ago I played 720p video at VLC in one ten years old computer and worked flawless. With Abrowser/Firefox up to 100% of CPU with 480p video in one single core CPU.
I found the following solution:

Just go to edit>preferences>advance tap and disable "Use hardware acceleration when available".
Maybe this could help in old computers and netbook.
I think I should have made the tittle of this post more specifically like "Youtube html5 video choppy" or something. Hope it helps some one out there.
Thank you all :)

If you use ViewTube Greasemonkey script you can watch the videos using VLC, Totem or other video players.

I know. The only complain I have about that is that you can't skip forward, am I right?
That's a Totem quirk, I don't think it applies to VLC and I know it doesn't apply to the browser's HTML5 player. If you want to see about VLC, copy the "Get" link provided by ViewTube and paste it into VLC. Honestly, I personally like Totem better than VLC for streaming video, anyway, which is why I'm not sure (VLC doesn't buffer the video long enough for me).
For HTML5 (which works for most sites, the only one I know of where it doesn't is Blip.tv), choose the "HTML5" option for the player, instead of "Auto".
You're absolutely right :), with VLC you don't have to wait until the video loads to that point to do a quick fast forward. Is amazing thank you so much. I always liked linterna magica better than abrowser's html5 player but always had this problem with it. I guess I should have thought about asking before. Oh well, thank you so much for this tip. I think is great. I may add it to trisquel docs. Thanks again :). See you.
Well I finally decided to use ViewTube_GM and VLC as described in my post:

I lastly I wanted to mention that disabling "hardware acceleration" didn't solve the problem, and also, the problem was shown some times even with 360p videos and even without using full screen.
I have seen that this problem has been reported to firefox a lot, so hopefully it would be solved in the near future.
See you all.

You can also try instead SMTube (get it via the official PPA) - which plays the YouTube videos via your preferred video player.
