OS: Windows 10 version 1809 (17763.557)

CPU: AMD A10-8700P Radeon R6, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G

GPU: Integrated: Radeon R6

         Dedicated: Radeon R5 M430 

GPU Driver Version: 19.6.2 (Radeon Software)

Firefox version: 67.0.4

Addons: Ublock and Native HLS playback, disabling them doesn't do anything.

Disabling hardware acceleration solves the problem. However, this is no solution since my CPU is slow, so all video becomes very laggy.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

How about a link to the problem so others can reproduce the problem or not? Also screenshot of the problem helps as well to see what is going on.

What do you get if you right-click the player and check the stats for nerds and possibly the debug info?
