Hi, I have a problem with Youtube playback on my machine. Sometimes videos are playing and skipping few seconds, sometimes stopping/hanging and using a lot of CPU (I can hear CPU fan ramping up). It mostly happens when I play videos at 1080p and up. Sometimes video can start playing, then skip few seconds, play few more seconds and hang, sometimes after refresh it works fine, another time it works for like a minute and then again hangs/skips. I had this problem on FF 89, I've updated to 11x, still persisted, now I have FF 125.0.3 (64 bit). Things that i've tried: - enabling/disabling hardware acceleration in FF - enabling/disabling gpu hardware acceleration in Windows - changing some settings in about:config (fe. media.wmf.zero-copy-nv12-texture to false and gfx.direct3d11.reuse-decoder-device to false, and few more) - disabling and deleting addons

Try to update to 128, it should be fixed.

hey i just switched to firefox after an unfortunate event with my computer and i figure firefox would be handle since thats what ships with the steamdeck

anyway im having this same issue on version 129.0.2 and yes of course im using ublock origin im on a slow internet connection which seems to make the issue worse occasionally when the video catches up to the loading parts of the video it will skip ahead past the loading part and continue playing

as far as ive seen edge doesnt have this issue

Helpful?
