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 haven't had it only give me lower quality options, but awhile back I noticed it was always defaulting to lower quality so I installed the YouTube High Definition extension. Haven't had an issue since.
