Brian MasinickIn Firefox 115a brought back performance for older PCs, but you need to go to about:config
Tested on eeePC900 (GMA900 without support WDDM, SSE2 900Mhz CPU) windows 7.For Debian http://ftp.mozilla.org./pub/firefox/nightly/2023/05/2023-05-14-09-08-31-mozilla-central/

Yeah, I keep multiple personal instances of Firefox on my systems too.
I don’t run into defects very often, at least for my pretty simple use cases, but I have reported a few over the past twenty years and they’ve been very prompt in fixing them; maybe that has something to do with the reason they work for me; I test what I’m interested in and constantly make sure they work.I guess I’m fortunate; I don’t have to change anything, except on occasion I’ll alter config strings – that’s typically when I run Seamonkey or Palemoon though; I set config to have these browsers behave as Firefox does.
The same applies to the distributions I regularly use; I test them, and while defects for my use cases are not common, once again I test early, often, and share any unexpected findings, with explanations how to replicate the behavior. These things make a significant difference.

It is not related to browser errors. Support for legacy technologies moved to about:config

Hello @user2022,
I am trying out your 32.5a build. Very nice. I can watch youtube on the browser without buffering on this old 2003 desktop with only 742 M ram using antiX23 x32 runit base. Although CPU is 100% in order to play the video.
I am posting from this browser.
Thank you for sharing.

For PaleMoon, you can use the VLC plugin on the page of the mobile version of the YouTube. Together with the expansion of ViewTube, this will give good performance
