So I don't know why, but whenever I'm playing YouTube videos, my cursor stutters. This isn't so obvious on the desktop, but it basically turns my mouse into a slideshow when playing video games. No, my games don't run at 20fps. While playing a YouTube video, my games can run at above 60fps but my mouse updates, like, 20 times a second. I use the latest version of Firefox, and disabling hardware acceleration and setting it to use only 1 processor core doesn't seem to help much. Turning down the video quality really helps, but it's still really noticeable when playing video games. Is there any way to fix this?



Thanks,
