how fast is your isp speed test ? if your speed is decent it is more likely a DNS issue
try:
change your DNS: i'll just put an example for cloudfare even though the picture has openDNS
ipv4
ipv6 (if you need it)
restart your connection after changing DNS. turn it off/on or reboot

Re: youtube on firefox shows videos in low quality very often
I have a satellite connection to the internet.
during the late evening hours when more people are cruising the internet, I can only view any video at about 240p
during other hours, I can view it at up to 720p, never more than that because my Bandwidth plan automatically limits to 480p.... but when most folks are asleep, I can view at 720p.
for me, it is just simpler to force the YouTube settings to 240p and not worry about it.
that way, it never buffers on me.
