Since my upgrade to Firefox 57 I cannot play video on youtube anymore
Hi,
Since I upgraded to Firefox 57 (Win 10) I'm having problems with video, especially on Youtube:
- after the upgrade it played fine, but then after a few hours I can't play anymore - same after a refresh : plays fine, but then after a while it stops working
I can see the video progress bar advancing, but the video never starts.
I tried removing all the add-ons and it didn't change anything...
Should I try anything else ?
Thanks,

Hi,
It wasn't a Firefox issue indeed, and the behavior disappeared with the last graphics card driver update.
Thanks

I figured it out.
The video was not starting because I'm mining on my GPU at the same time. As soon as I turn the mining off there's no problem. I guess this did not happen before quantum because FF didn't use the GPU before.
Is there a way to give a "priority" to GPU work ?
Thanks
FF did use GPU before Quantum.
Not 100% sure but I think there is no way to give GPU priority to a certain process. Don't use the entire GPU minining, video probably only needs 2 or 3% GPU.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
That was my first idea as well. I dialed the mining down to 80% without success. I'll post something if I get any result.

This is not a Firefox Issue since using the mining software on a computer you use daily instead of a dedicated rig. Please mark this as solved.
