Firefox: форум сообщества

When I'm on websites such as Reddit or Facebook, and I'm scrolling down, if I come across more than one post where there is a video, the screen will start to flicker. Only one video will play, but the screen flickers. If there is only one video on the screen, it is fine.

I can turn off Hardware Acceleration and this will resolve the issue, however, when I go to other sites such as Apple TV or GeoGuessr, the sites lag until I turn Hardware Acceleration back on.

The issue seems to be between Hardware Acceleration and when multiple videos are loading on a page.

I would like to be able to turn off preload of videos (and images) so that I can watch a page with a lot of videos and only load those that I want to see. This is important if you don't have a high bandwith or a lot of data. I am sure I have done this before but now I am not able to achieve that.

Thank you in advance, Virtually yours, David

I get 'you browser cannot play this video" when I try to watch NFL Sunday Ticket on Youtube; what causes this? I use Linux Mint on my laptop.

I also have Opera browser installed; I get the same error using Opera.

Please help. Thanks.

I'm on a Mac desktop, Mac Tahoe 26.6.2, using the latest version of Firefox, although this frequently happened in previous versions. Audio often disappears from videos and reels. When I refresh the page, nothing happens. To get sounds working again, I have to quit Firefox and restart, but by then I've lost the reels I was watching. This is a big issue for me as I am a musician. Any ideas on how to fix this permanently?

Los videos de YouTube se reproducen entrecortados y se detienen constantemente. El problema ocurre durante la reproducción de los videos, aunque la conexión a Internet parece funcionar con normalidad. Esto dificulta ver los videos de manera continua. Agradecería su ayuda para identificar la causa del problema y saber qué pasos puedo seguir para solucionarlo.

Hello,

I am experiencing a serious display flickering/refresh issue in Firefox when opening DRM streaming websites such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and HBO/Max.

My system:

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Monitor: LG 34GL750 Windows PC Latest NVIDIA driver installed

The problem:

When I open Netflix/Prime Video/HBO/Max in Firefox, the display repeatedly flickers or appears to restart. There is no "No Signal" message from the monitor. Closing Firefox sometimes makes the display recover. Unplugging/reconnecting the display cable has sometimes been necessary. The same problem does NOT occur in Brave, using the same PC, GPU, monitor and cable.

Troubleshooting already performed:

Updated to the latest NVIDIA driver, including the recent driver update that mentioned display-related issues. Tried a different display cable. Disabled Firefox hardware acceleration. Tested with Firefox Troubleshooting Mode — the problem still occurs. Disabled/enabled Firefox DRM/Widevine — the problem still occurs. Tested with a completely new Firefox profile — the problem still occurs. Disabled G-SYNC — the problem still occurs. Disabled uBlock — the problem still occurs. Checked about — there are no recent crash reports related to the problem.

Firefox about information:

GPU #1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Active: Yes

In my normal Firefox profile: Compositing: WebRender (Software) HARDWARE_VIDEO_DECODING: runtime: unavailable Requires texture sharing Blocklisted; failure code FEATURE_FAILURE_BROKEN_TEXTURE_SHARING

In a completely new Firefox profile: HARDWARE_VIDEO_DECODING: default: available

However, the display problem still occurs in the new profile.

Thank you.

Hello, this is the basic problem:

The short version is that there is a problem with Firefox not interacting with the scrub bar and volume bar. (all other controls work fine) We know it's a Firefox thing because everything works with Brave. (or an interaction between Firefox and the OS at least, Firefox is heavily involved)

There is more detail and we have done some work on it here: CashyOS forum post

You can use the Firefox manifesto V0.2. video for an example, as it displays all the above problems for me.

I can get you guys whatever other data might be needed, but I kinda need an idea where to look to try and fix this, as all the other posts I have managed to find don't seem to have similar enough issues to work.
