Has anyone else seen this?

     I just updated my Firefox to the latest 91.3.0esr (64-bit) and now Youtube keeps on lowering my 480p res to 360p randomly in the middle of watching a video.

     Is there a way to down-grade / roll back the current update to my previous version of Firefox?

     Yesterday, everything was fine.

given that i'm currently on 93.0 and it's downloading an update... update?
BrianHG:
 :palm:  It gets worse.  Now when I change the volume in the Youtube player, they no longer edit 'Mozilla FireFox's volume in the system Volume Mixer.  Instead, they are manipulating the waveform internally, then sending that home-made volumed audio to the system with a full volume level setting for their task screwing up the OS's internal volume equalization function I have enabled.  As I lower the playback volume in youtube, the OS fights back boosting the audio to keep the one level.

     I don't get it.  What was wrong with originally setting Mozilla FireFox's volume?

That the latest on with all the added garbage.  I want to go back to the simpler one with the smaller tabs, less system resources and proper volume controls so I don't blast my head.
I wanted a rude username:
Just upgraded, and YouTube is working same as always (including it forgets who I am every time I close the tab and Cookie AutoDelete kicks in).

I recall the audio setting being as you describe (on the application level) many years ago, but figured they would have stopped doing that once video streaming became common, since it wouldn't allow you to have per-tab volume settings. Can confirm it's per-tab for me.
