Firefox weird acting when uses GPU acceleration, and this results in a low frame rate on any GPU-demanding page (bug)

So, i have a laptop, with integrated cpu graphics (Intel UHD) and discrete gpu (RTX 3060), first times when i set in Windows settings to use Firefox powerful gpu, it just… (read more)

So, i have a laptop, with integrated cpu graphics (Intel UHD) and discrete gpu (RTX 3060), first times when i set in Windows settings to use Firefox powerful gpu, it just won't, i tried restarting browser but i forgot that i have opened private tab, so i not restarted browser. So, on any pages like WebGL Aquarium, i have pretty low fps, in comparison to other browsers (like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome). Then, after i see that tab, i closed it, and after restart i got my fps, but.. still lower than other browsers, on WebGL Aquarium with 30k fishes, Firefox max fps is around 35, but on Chrome is around 70 (two times faster). I found one page that shows gpu that uses for acceleration, and it shows pretty weird information in Firefox. https://kdashg.github.io/misc/webgl/low-power.html So, in Chrome it says like "Nvidia RTX 3060 Mobile GPU", and when i choose integrated gpu for this browser in windows, it says like "Intel UHD GPU", but, in Firefox, on first tries it said same, but when i got discrete gpu acceleration, it says that i have "Nvidia Geforce GTX 980". I was like, what? Where it did come from? This explains why I have a fps two times lower but who will explain to me why this gpu is here? I tried to change all acceleration settings in browser, but when i just disabled any acceleration, still shows GTX 980 what is more weird than if it just shows like nothing or Intel GPU, cause is disabled but still uses hardware acceleration, but no matters if i let Firefox use recommended performance settings or set to use acceleration when is available, it shows GTX 980. I think it's about a bug, or something? I can't say that's Windows problems, drivers, or any other thing, cause, other browsers don't act like this, and i just don't have GTX 980 in my laptop on side with RTX 3060 and Intel GPU, anyone even know that laptop like this exists? Screenshot don't wanna upload here so i decided to place it on imgur. https://imgur.com/pyMZQr0

4GB for the app and up to 8GB.

Are you mining Bitcoin on my machine?

What are you doing?

I have had this issue for a couple weeks now with youtube. When running in a private tab it will frequently not accept input for something like 10 seconds at a time. Playback works totally fine, no real stuttering or lag in the video, but pressing pause will generally take significant time to actually pause. This is true of all other inputs including keyboard commands, clicking on links, right click, etc. It seems to have a rolling window where inputs are accepted because if I wait for clicking play to work I can also quickly change the volume or right click a link. It'll even accept the input if I'm in a different window (like if I hit play then click over to my second monitor). This doesn't seem to happen in a normal window, only private. All other firefox tabs work totally fine with none of this lag, nor do I see any other issues on my computer. I haven't noticed any spikes in hardware usage nor am I using anywhere near all of my PC's resources.

I'm only running 2 extensions I think would interfere here (ublock origin and enhancer for youtube) and I've tried running with them disabled to no effect. All my extensions are up to date, as are my browser and OS, this has persisted through restarts (though it seems to take some time to come into effect after a restart). I've tried disabling hardware acceleration and clearing the cache.

So yeah, no idea what's wrong. It's not like unusable, just really annoying. Thanks to anyone that helps.
