Hello,

Recently I noticed a big difference in performance on Youtube if I set Hardware Acceleration to disabled. I'm having Intel IGP, and no external graphics. I was reading more about this setting after I feel like 'youtube is so slow, but what if I turn this off, will this make any difference?' and yes it did! So it was a good idea, and I would like to share this. On devices with integrated graphics only - this setting should be disabled by default for new firefox installations. I really noticed a significant difference on my notebook when turning this off, but on my game-desktop with GPU GeForce 1050ti i don't notice difference because the GPU is good enough.

Kind Regards, Lajos
