Looks like you've got the memory maxed out at 2GB. With a 1.67GHz single core processor, you may be limited by your hardware to viewing YouTube in a browser.
Consider installing Minitube using Install/Remove Software. Menu > System > Install/Remove Software. Minitube is a YouTube desktop client. You should be able to view YouTube videos in full screen on your hardware without the jitter you're experiencing with Firefox.

You may have to install the Opera browser. Google Chrome is no longer supported on 32-bit Linux operating systems.

Have you installed Restricted Extras using Lite Software? Menu > System > Lite Software.
Or have you seen this?

Welcome, man!
Btw about internet browser, I recommended you choose between Mozilla Firefox or Chromium Browser.
