I'm still have issues with Twitch streams stuttering or having video hang for a second or two. It seems to only happen when a lot of the screen is refreshing at once/there is a lot of action on the screen. Audio keeps playing without issues. Chrome has no issues at all and plays silky smooth.

Environment: Firefox 59.0.2 and 60.0b11 Windows 10 Intel i5 - 4690k 16GB RAM Nvidia GTX 970 - Driver 391.35 (latest at time of post) 3 monitors - issue displays on every monitor

Things I've tried with no change in behavior: Playing in Private browser window Tinkering with Nvida settings Tinkering with Firefox Hardware acceleration settings Reinstalling Firefox Upgrading video driveres Reinstalling video drivers w/fresh install Upgrading to beta

Things I've tried that have helped: Dropping the quality to 720p - this causes the video hanging to stop but again Chrome plays silky smooth at 1080.

Forgot to mention that unlike many of the reports from pre FF 57 I'm not having issues with youtube videos at 1080P
