Firefox flicker after making Radeon GPU the primary display renderer

Machine: Dell Inspiron 15 5567

CPU: Intel i5-7200U

Op Sys: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

RAM: 16GB

GPUs:

(1) Integrated Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2)

(2) AMD Radeon R7 M445


Soon after installing Ubuntu 24.04 LTS freshly into my laptop I followed standard configurations to set my graphics card as the primary display renderer for my machine.

This is done by setting the environment variable DRI_PRIME=1 in my .profile file and rebooting.

I also made the following settings to Firefox's about:config

         layers.acceleration.force-enabled               true
        gfx.webrender.all                                           true

After reboot I get a lot of flicker on Firefox and a lesser amount on Thunderbird. The image below flickers on and off the screen for 1-4 seconds.

No such flickering occurs on Chrome browser.

Is there any way to fix this flickering ?

Hello,

There has been an upgrade of Firefox ESR to version 128.3 on Debian 12 bookworm.

Before the update, I could play videos, now I can't.

I precise I can play videos on Chromium, or with the video players.

I have libavcodec58, libavcodec-extra59, ffmpeg 5.1.6 packages installed.

There is an error in the console: Media resource xxx.webm could not be decoded. Specified “type” attribute of “video/mp4” is not supported. Load of media resource xxx.mp4 failed.

This command seems to indicate the session is X11 and not Wayland: ``` loginctl show-session 1 -p Type Type=x11 ```

I'm referring to when you hit ctrl-d or click the star, click the location dropdown, and select the choose option to scroll through your bookmark folders to select where to put the bookmark, my menu is tiny and annoyingly easy to scroll too far in without realizing till it's too late. Quick google didn't seem to have a solution, and the support didn't recognize the verbiage at least (not sure if that's on me for wording it weird or what, I'm pretty new to FIrefox and still have growing pains from the switch from the now anti-adblock browser I abandoned). Anyone?

I just switched from Ubuntu 22.04 to Fedora 40 and copied my files over, including my Firefox profile and KDE settings. I have hit a few snags, such as that the language setting is totally ignored, but the most annoying is that the addess bar stopped autocompleting URLs I type and instead just flickers the suggestions popup away whenever I type. I tried troubleshooting mode and for every new tab the autocomplete works once but once I type the second letter it flickers the suggestions away again and doesn't work. To me it looks like the issue is that the suggestions popup maybe messes with the window focus as I noticed that menus and such seem to be implemented as borderless windows in Firefox. I also tested it in about:home using the search box there (which redirects your input to the address bar) and in there the first typed letter also autocompletes and after that each new typed letter just flickers the suggestions away for a split-second.

Incase it helps, I installed firefox-dev from the4runner's COPR "firefox-dev"

Apparently there's a new PDF feature that shows up on the right in a sub-window whenever I try to view a PDF. "Now you can highlight your PDFs!" it screams. Unfortunately I can't use it nor can I get rid of all the "real estate" that it takes up. I'm using a fully-updated FF browser on an ASUS E410 with Win11 H23. I've tried every possible option to change the FF magnification or my screen size. NOTHING WORKS. Before this thing intruded my space for viewing PDFs or changing PDF forms, everything was fine. Now I am forced to find another solution See attached.
