I have an HP Pavilion computer updated to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and plenty of available bandwidth from Comcast. My problem occurs when using the Xfinity TV application with the Mozilla Firefox browser (Version. 49.0.1). This application gives me access on my desktop and laptop computers and Galaxy Note 5 to all of the Xfinity X1 platform content including live TV channels to which I subscribe to from Comcast when I am viewing them while at home. This content is accessed through the Live TV function contained in the Xfinity TV application. Hence, when using this application, I can watch one channel on a TV and a second on my computer. While this application is fully functional with Chrome and Microsoft Edge is does not work well with Mozilla Firefox. The problem occurs when I try to use the Xfinity TV application to watch a live broadcast of a TV program being broadcast in high definition using my computer and HP HD 25 inch monitor. When watching the high definition broadcast the picture is jumpy (flickers) and the audio is garbled, choppy and not understandable. These problems do not occur when a standard definition broadcast of a live TV program is being watched using the Mozilla Firefox browser. Xfinity TV application works properly with Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers. Is there a setting in Firefox or other fix for this problem.

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drivers

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

Thank you but I have already updated Shockwave. I think that the problem is with Mozilla but cannot identify it as I am not very computer literate. I have been working on this for a week with Comcast and HP techs. So far, I refuse to accept the the solution is to use Chrome or Microsoft Edge when running this application.

Comcast tells me that the Xfinity TV app works on their end with Mozilla Firefox. Have told me just to use Chrome or Microsoft Edge. This is not what I want to do but may be forced to accept it.

Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe websites. Are there any problems?
