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.

Are you watching videos right after they're uploaded? Iirc Youtube takes a bit longer to make 1080p available, so there's a bit of time after upload when it only has lower options.

Also, I'm using Chromium, and Youtube sometimes just gives me the 360p version, but the 1080p is available to switch to. But it's been doing that since forever.

edit: misspelled longer as lower
