I do. For me, it looks like Firefox is struggling with rendering when it comes to any kind of animation/effects, e.g videos, images, as well as js powered animations using SVG/canvas. Even simple things make my laptop boil.
Maybe I'm wrong about CPU and it's all about integrated Intel GPU.
- bufferoverflow 8y agoI'm having similar issues on a fairly modern laptop with i7-7700hq and GTX1050. After a few minutes of watching YouTube, it gets all jerky and not smooth. I'm guessing something is throttling, though video playback isn't taking a high percentage of either the CPU or the GPU. I tried forcing the builtin Intel GPU on firefox.exe, that didn't change anything.
- voltagex_ 8y agoSee if the video codec is shown in "Stats for Nerds". Perhaps hardware decoding for either webm or h264 isn't enabled.
- cpeterso 8y agoYouTube prefers VP9, when available. You can try disabling VP9 in Firefox by setting the about:config pref "media.mediasource.webm.enabled" = false. Depending on your GPU, Firefox may be able to decode H.264 using a hardware decoder. This YouTube page will show which codecs are currently enabled in your browser: https://www.youtube.com/html5 https://www.youtube.com/html5
- sp332 8y agoDo you have a blacklisted GPU driver? https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drivers https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drive... You can check in about:support whether it is disabled. There's a section at the bottom of the article about how to force-enable various features if you want to see how glitchy it really is on your machine.
