The gpu usage (more specifically the encoding) has crazy spikes which causes frames to drop (a lot of them).
I'm almost sure this only happens with vp9 and so far I've only seen it happen in 1080p and over (1080p60 etc).
The gpu should be more than able to play these. And in the moments it isn't spiking it's only using like 30 to 40% so it is more than able.
Edit 1: It's really strange because I just watched 4k60 videos and 1080p60 videos in both VP9 and AV and they worked just perfect and then I went to a 1080p24 in VP9 and it skips like hell. And then I went back to the previous video and it gets almost 100% skipped frames at 4k60 when just 5 minutes ago it was playing it fine.
So basically I can't successfully reproduce the problem the same way all the time. Maybe you guys have some tools I can use to do more in-depth testing.
Edit 2: I am now convinced that the problem lies with the iGPU not having enough memory because one common thing that I noticed every time there's skipping is that the vram is pretty much full. At the same time that's strange because the system should then use the system memory as shared memory, right? I checked my BIOS to see if I could increase the iGPU memory but it literally only gives me a single option, which isn't even the correct one since it shows 128MB and I have 256MB, or at least the specs of the laptop, Firefox (about:support) and Windows says so.
I know there's other laptops with this iGPU that can change that so if anyone has one that can test that we would know.

Hi,
With Firefox 72.0.2 (64-bit), that is the latest version available, I cannot open file with what I want when doing "Open with...", see image 1, when I press "Browse..." a window opens asking me to "Choose Helper Application", with nothing yet, then, see image 2, if I press "View All Applications" I have just a selection of applications (with some listed several times) I don't know from where and I cannot browse system to select a specific application or script. I also tried adding a .desktop file for the script I want to use in /usr/share/applications/ but it still not appears in "All Applications" list, whereas it actually appeared in OS start menu.
In the other way, see image 3, when opening an already downloaded file, another windows appears ("Launch Application") from which we can select previously used applications for file type, and, selecting "Choose...", allows user to select any file on the filesystem.
Is it possible to have second behaviour for both ?
Thanks

Trying to browse some well known websites (stripe.com, github.com among others). The message 'Performing a TLS handshake to <domain>...' is displayed for a long time, then the timout page appears. On a new and empty profile, with ipv6 disabled or not, the issue is similar but without timeout. However, the website starts loading after a long delay, about 10s. I can see the same behavior on Chrome but not on Midori browser (always starts loading after 1s). What can I do ?

After 72.0.2 I started to notice performance problems with my firefox. Symptoms are similiar to my multiprocess problems I had after it was added. I managed to avoid it for some time by limiting processes number to 1 (which was 4 in reality)
Long story short: when you open new tab firefox has to create new process which is somewhat correlated to your PC performance (however it hangs up even on 4800MHz i5 with nvme pci-e 3.0 x4 ssd so....). When this process is already created and you enter different website it is smooth - firefox does not have to create another process until you open NEW TAB or it reaches its limit (from 1 to 8 processes/tabs) - set via settings. If limit was set to more than 1 I had problems with hanging up for few seconds until I reached limit - so if it was set to 4 I opened 1 tab and 3 links I clicked (with new tabs) slowed firefox down for me, but 4th, 5th etc. were fine. So I set it to 1 permanently and problem disappeared - every tab opened as fast as before.
But now problem seems to have returned. I still have 1 in my settings but symptoms are pretty much the same (but there are only 4 processes). However browser is not hanging up - it seems like connection is. It does nothing - "waiting for xxxxxx" in lower left corner and then after 1-2s page actually starts to load. It is present on every website I visit, no matter how many tabs or windows I open.
So my question is - what did you break in this firefox version? Previously it was youtube, now it is all sites...

When I first load firefox I have been getting the error "Firefox has stopped working for a few years now. Close the program". I do not click the link to close the program I click the "X" at the top right of the popup window. That will initiate a reload of the page. But, the page loads with none of the graphics loading. If I click the refresh button myself my page will load just fine. The only reason I even did an upgrade was because it would not let me load ANY page and kept saying my flash player was out of date and had to be updated. I did update flash but Firefox would still not work. A couple months ago I tried to do an upgrade which crashed. I ended up doing an uninstall and installed the latest version. I lost everything including my profile. After much searching for answers using Google Chrome I finally found out how to retrieve a copy of my old profile and help on how to install it. I did an upgrade this week which I had to do from Google Chrome but at least it worked and I didn't have to lose anything. But, then it would not use flash so I had to again use Google Chrome to get flash to download and install the correct update. You know... all that NPAPI and NPAPI crap because Firefox uses a different version of flash player than Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I am currently using version 72.0.2 of Firefox. I had installed an update for Flash player before updating Firefox. I had to reinstall the version of Flash that I had just installed. I am now running version 32.0.0.321. Firefox still stops working and I still have to jump through the hoops of reloading it. I am NOT going to update my Windows 7 Home because I do not want Windows 10. If I try to update my graphics card MS will force me to upgrade Windows. They stopped supporting Windows 7. The only good thing is that now it does not open the library item on boot that even after following instructions to turn off kept loading anyway. All that installing and reinstalling eats up a lot of my metered data allowance so the next time I will probably just uninstall Firefox. I forgot to say that NO I DO NOT OWN A SMART PHONE AND DO NOT PLAN ON GETTING ONE. MY DESKTOP PC WORKS JUST FINE. I DO NOT NEED TO DOWNLOAD AN APP EVERY TIME I WANT TO DO ANYTHING. If using computers for the past 40 years has taught me anything it is all about putting money in someone's pocket and making it easier for thieves to destroy my life. I am sorry that the youth of today are stupid and want things to be easy and do not realize the expense to their very existence. I do not want you to fix anything. I apologize for my attitude. I just needed to vent.

I have been using ytmp3.eu for quite a while with no problem. I use it to convert Youtube videos to mp3 music files. But recently some not welcome things have been happening. When first accessing the site to the site, I get a popup that Popup Blocker did not block. I added the site to their list with mixed success. When clicking the Convert Now box in ytmp3, another window opens up. Screen shots provided of the site with the Firefox results, and the Norton 360 results. Is it ytmp3 causing this, or something within Firefox that I can fix? I am using the latest version of Firefox. Version 72.0.2. Windows10 with all current updates installed. Appreciate any help you can give me. Les Braun
