Can't play/pause in browser after update webOS nano79sna, version 5.2.1-2521 jhericulr-jardine

After recent update my browser changed, now, it looks better and fluid but control play and pause buttons don't work in browser video player anymore.

Is there a way to fix it? Maybe a downgrade?

It is really annoying can not play and pause the videos

new Browser sucks, hides subtitles and anything except video after 2 minutes, looks like stupid screen saver thing

50UK6540PTD  3 year old tv  now operates like a 10 year old tv.....     Well after the webos  browser upgrade...     cannot see the bar at the bottom of the playback screen....  this shows the ff/reverse  to speed across the adverts or through the recorded program... not there anymore....  also for some unknown reason the download speed has dropped to 2.3mbs was much higher than this before ie  around 35mbs       can the webos team please rectify the problems?

I found something that helps, reset TV to factory settings, before that write down your region and backup programs to usb, then after restoring, set region and restore programs, new browser is gone, but every time you run browser it  asks for update and you have to press launch. I found it in a thread and also users suggested to watch movies for free in watchsomuch.tv which was a great site and is fully compatible with WebOS browser. If pay you can watch outstanding 4K qualities on LG OLED

Hi  gave it a try but unfortunately still have problems...  it seems that LG have altered the webos and have inherently caused issue with their update on my 3 year old led tv.  Will I buy another LG after this   unless they solve the problems that would give an answer of NO.

Thank you for your time and suggestion.  appreciated

I just wonder how many times the LG webos team actually look at the LG forum queries?  I would say they dont as it seems that none of our problems are actually resolved.....   came on team sort these problems that have occured since updates...  yes updates....

Does the new webos update comes with the new stupid browser? because I could help not pressing update every time I open browser, but now every time I turn the TV on it asks for update and I think its better not to update.

Now I remember I read somewhere from a genius that if your TV has no problem never update it!

Its interesting recently everything I update turns out to be worst, big sample is Microsoft's Visual studio
