<p>Remember when you could pause a video on, like, Youtube and wait and it would eventually load the whole thing so you could watch it with no buffering?</p>

<p>I happened across a <a href="https://nyxgoddessofcandles.tumblr.com/post/733566253212598272/theres-more-to-do-actually-now-go-to">tumblr post</a> detailing some settings to accomplish that in modern Firefox, and I wanted to document it here.</p>
|

|
|
<p>I can't guarantee that this won't stop working at some point amidst the constant churn of arbitrary updates to websites and browsers alike, but it works for me right now, and if I learn about an updated method this is where it'll be.</p>

|
<h2>How to do it</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>In <code>about:config</code>, change the following settings:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Set <code>media.mediasource.enabled</code> to <code>false</code></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Set <code>media.cache_readahead_limit</code> and <code>media.cache_resume_threshold</code> to <code>9999</code></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
