Did you all noticed from recently that youtube is giving only lov quality opcion (360p) in mozilla firefox, despite youtuber uploaded that video in high quality (1080p)..?

I think this is another move where they are using monopoly to ruin firefox and leave only chrome as only webbrowser..

First time i thought hm this is strange why is this video in so poor quality and i saw that only 360p opcion iz awailable. This youtuber for sure wouldnt upload video in this bad quality so i copied the link and pasted it in another browser chrome and it showed in 1080p and good quality and everything was normal. So i think its must be on purpose to ruin firefox.

I only use Firefox and I haven't noticed this at all. A video I was just watching went all the way up to 2k resolution. Closest I've seen to this was a YT to mp4 converter that couldn't go above 360p.
