    Question about watching Videos online


    I watch a lot of videos/movies online such as TV Shows on those streaming sites that our lovely Government has shut down. Question, is it true when the video loads it downloads to your PC? If so, can I stop that using Firefox?

    If you stop the download, you may get a buffering problem.
