And there is no end in sight. For the love of God, please switch to Firefox.

I have this weird issue with Firefox: any time when is fast forward in a YouTube video it drops my USB-C connections!

  Interesting. Is hardware acceleration enabled?

    I have disabled it an now it's fine! What is also interesting that this is happening with two different laptops. The Sound Device btw is a USB DAC that is connected through the USB-C hub. Maybe this is what is causing the issues. This issue is relatively new, what I am experiencing is "reaching" the USB DAC Sound Device is getting slower and slower. Maybe this is a driver issue in Windows.

  Perhaps your usb c and audio devices are on the same hardware bus and Firefox is doing something there. I had that problem with discord once.

  I have a similar issue with hardware accelerated videos in general that drops all my USB connections randomly when stopping or skipping in a video. I think it's a power state change issue with my GPU because it never happens if I have a video game running.

There is an end in sight: Firefox's. Mozilla has billion dollars and is cutting back on Firefox software development to focus on paying executives and pushing agendas.

  You're either out of touch, or pushing an agenda yourself. Firefox is a great browser, a sensible choice without any flaws that exists RIGHT NOW, that does not add a weekly "feature" that encroaches the user's interests.

    I'm neither. I'm a Firefox user frustrated by the decisions of the company in charge of it. Check it out: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37015592 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37015592

      It is fair to criticize Mozilla's operations. It's not fair to spew FUD on the best browser alternative that currently exists - your comment implies that Firefox isn't any better than Chrome. That is simply not true from a user-hostileness perspective, which is the context. Financials are another matter, and if they are really so problematic then what you should do is either propose a better alternative, or even work on it yourself, given that it is open source what we're talking about.

        My comment didn't "imply" anything. I stated that Firefox may be coming to an end. Then I stated the facts that back up my belief: (1) Mozilla has over a billion dollars; and (2) they are reducing the amount of money allocated to Firefox development. I simply have no idea how you can possibly draw any other conclusion. It's not "FUD" either. If you can refute the article I posted, I will stop posting it and never speak of the matter again. Until then, I will criticize Mozilla for not spending money developing Firefox. Because I care about Firefox and want to see it kill Chrome, not languish in 5th place dying a slow death with zero leverage to actually stop things like WEI from being inflicted upon us.
