Running XP and Firefox, sometimes when I try to play a video it only runs for about 3secs after downloading/buffering - after a reboot it works fine.

Has anyone ever encountered this issue? Is there something I can dl to prevent this in the future.  Pain in the ass to reboot every time this happens.

Thanks

Happened again, this time I checked IE before rebooting and it worked fine in IE. Guess I'll try reinstalling Firefox

You have any FF extensions installed? Might not be playing nice with what you are running.
