Why is firefox unable to maintain 60fps while watching youtube videos?
Recently decided to try and switch to primarily using FFQ instead of Chrome. I watch a lot of youtube since I'm a procrastinating bastard, and FF is unable to maintain a steady 60FPS while watching 60fps videos. The problem does not exist in chrome. My Graphics drivers are up to date.

Try to install the h264ify extension and report back if it helps.
Even with the extension installed, the problem persists. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the way FFQ is optimized?
That's possible, though it's very GPU-dependend. Could you please file a bug on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi (with a link to the problematic video) and provide a bug number here? We'd see, what devs are saying about it.
Didn't give me a bug number, but I submitted some sort of feedback. Hopefully we can figure out what's causing this sooner rather than later.
