video stops in background and fokus is on a fullscreen game
Im having a issue, that video (plaing on a second monitor) laggs/freezes (not compleatly) when the fokus is on a fullscreen game. The problem only apears in firefox, cromium based browsers dont seem to have the problem. I've seen this happen on twitch and youtube. The video randomly updates the displayed image and sometimes playes slowly/laggy.

and updated to 95.0. . . . I finally found where the plugin "Widevine Content Decryption
Module provided by Google Inc." was not updating to the newest version of
December 1, 2021. Ver #4.10.2391.0
cor-el; Make sure you have the latest Widevine version. You can toggle DRM off/on to see if that makes Firefox (re)load DRM components.
- Settings -> General: Play DRM

You can possibly check the XHR requests in the Browser Console if this doesn't work.
What kind of game(s) are you playing ?
Is that game using WebGL or other features that are demanding a lot of graphics processing ?
Do you have enabled hardware acceleration in Firefox ?
@FredMcD FF Version 96.0.3 has the same Problem and acording to about:plugins Widevine is updated to the new Version (Version: 4.10.2391.0)
@cor-el I've tried a vew games and the only one that causes the Problem it theHunter CotW (witch makes the Problem a lot smaller then i thought and maybe not so new). As far as im aware of it doesn't use WebGL. I've tried turning off hardware acceleration, but it doesn't make any difference.
Have you contacted their support on this?
