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,

I am having trouble with my Simple Practice connection static and video not functioning for my sessions with clients on Firefox and would like to have this remedied...Maybe I just need an update but looked under Settings and didn't see that option. Please advise. Thank you!

I am running 155.0.1 latest version at the time of this writing. I am able to log into Netflix, but cannot play content. Part of their trouble shooting was to disable and re-enable DRM (widevine). The problem is that now that I have done so, I cannot get widevine installed again. Is there a manual way to get this installed, clean up what Netflix was so gallant about messing up on my computer? I have seen some old and sketchy posts on redit and other places that suggest ways to do this, but they scare me. I searched the forums here, and didn't see anything that directly affected my question, although I might have missed it.

Thanks all for the help.

This has happened on two different video sites already. While watching a video, it will go extremely dark and happens randomly. I also get a weird blank window frame sporadically. I've unjustly been reporting this to one of the video sites until I noticed the same thing on Youtube.

I am unable to make or receive video calls in Facebook and WhatsApp. I used to be able to in Facebook. The message I get is that my browser doesn't support video calls. What is wrong?

Whenever I hold down the mouse button or space bar to speed up a video by 2x, it seems to let out a small crackle / pop, it wouldn't be as annoying if it only happened one time but it happens practically anytime I do it, sometimes it's when I first press it down, and sometimes it's when I let go.

I've been using Firefox for years and never had this issue until like 3-4 days ago I'd say, and it's a small thing but it adds up constantly and makes the experience fairly annoying, I tested the audio on google chrome extensively and it doesn't seem to happen there so I have to assume it's a Firefox issue.

Would love to see if there's a way to fix this.

It was working fine until the day before yesterday. The volume of the speaker got low before it stopped working. The PodCast and Vimeo are working fine. So it is not the problem of my computer speaker.

Please help me as i want to record some gameplay but it keeps getting squished & it is pissing me off. I have asked on reddit & people were unhelpful & telling me to just buy another computer. this is annoying as it is causing me when playing games it causes text to be unreadable at times. Thanks in advance.

Lately, whenever I click into a youtube video from within youtube, instead of Firefox blocking autoplay, it mutes the video but lets it play.

Initially, it was muting EVERY video I pulled up, but messing with my settings has fixed the problem if I click into a youtube video from elsewhere (ex. a google search result), or if I refresh the page. It's super annoying to having navigating youtube be this non-functional right now, though, since everything just silently plays until I catch and unmute it! Any help would be super appreciated!

(I'll attach an image with my current autoplay settings.)

Since yesterday, videos on NetMirror are not playing. Every video shows a “Video load failed” error. I have tried multiple times, but the problem is still happening. Please help me fix this issue.

(AI written summary of troubleshooting steps taken before making this support thread)

Firefox version: - 152.0.1 Release - 153.0 Nightly

OS: - Windows 11 build 26200

GPU: - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

Codec package: - Microsoft HEVC Video Extensions installed from Microsoft Store

Problem

Firefox does not expose HEVC playback support, causing Twitch to disable 1440p streams encoded with HEVC.

The same machine can play the same HEVC Twitch streams in Chrome immediately after installing HEVC Video Extensions.

Expected result

Firefox should report HEVC playback support and allow playback of HEVC streams, as Chrome does on the same system.

Actual result

Firefox reports HEVC as unsupported.

about:support:

codecSupportInfo: H264 SWDEC HWDEC VP9 SWDEC HWDEC VP8 SWDEC HWDEC AV1 SWDEC HWDEC HEVC NONE

Troubleshooting already performed

- Installed Microsoft HEVC Video Extensions - Rebooted Windows - Updated NVIDIA drivers - Verified hardware acceleration is enabled - Tested with a brand new Firefox profile - Tested with Firefox Nightly - Confirmed Chrome can play the same HEVC streams

Additional observations

Chrome: - Twitch 1440p becomes available immediately after installing HEVC Video Extensions - Twitch Stats for Nerds reports:

 hev1.1.6.L150.90.0.0.0.0.0

Firefox: - Twitch reports that the browser does not support the required resolution - 1440p remains greyed out - about:support continues to report HEVC NONE

Reproducible tests

Firefox console:

MediaSource.isTypeSupported('video/mp4; codecs="hev1.1.6.L150.90"')

Result: false

MediaSource.isTypeSupported('video/mp4; codecs="hvc1.1.6.L150.90"')

Result: false

navigator.mediaCapabilities.decodingInfo({

 type: "media-source",
 video: {
   contentType: 'video/mp4; codecs="hev1.1.6.L150.90"',
   width: 2560,
   height: 1440,
   bitrate: 8000000,
   framerate: 60
 }

})

Result: {

 supported: false,
 smooth: false,
 powerEfficient: false

}

For comparison:

MediaSource.isTypeSupported('video/mp4; codecs="av01.0.08M.08"')

Result: true

navigator.mediaCapabilities.decodingInfo({

 type: "file",
 video: {
   contentType: 'video/mp4; codecs="av01.0.08M.08"',
   width: 2560,
   height: 1440,
   bitrate: 8000000,
   framerate: 60
 }

})

Result: {

 supported: true,
 smooth: true,
 powerEfficient: true

}

Additional note

Setting:

dom.media.webcodecs.h265.enabled = true

causes HTML5 codec test (https://html5test.co/) to report H.265 support, but does not change:

- about:support - MediaSource.isTypeSupported() - MediaCapabilities.decodingInfo() - Twitch HEVC playback availability

Question

Is this a known issue with HEVC Media Source Extensions support on Windows 11 build 26200, or is there another requirement for Firefox to expose HEVC playback capability through MediaSource and MediaCapabilities when the Windows HEVC codec is installed and functioning in Chromium-based browsers?

My Youtube video stutters every 6-10 seconds. When I turn off my HW acc off, this issue happened. Turning the HW acc on solve it, but the thing is if I have my HW acc on another problem came up, which is my Firefox will starts to blink. Anyone has a solution for this?

Started OBS Vitrual Camera option. in Firefox the camera is no listed.

https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/getusermedia/gum/

only shows phyiscal cams.

How can virtual cameras listed in Firefox?

``` $ v4l2-ctl --list-devices --all OBS Virtual Camera (platform:v4l2loopback-000):

       /dev/video0

SandbergCapture: SandbergCaptur (usb-0000:07:00.0-1):

       /dev/video1
       /dev/video2
       /dev/media0

```

but OBS Virtual Camera is not listed

I updated to Firefox v155 today and noticed immediately that video is washed out. Please see attached image. Firefox is on the left and Safari is on the right. I haven't updated my laptop yet and video looks 100x better.

For the past month, out of the blue, I have been unable to play Spotify via my web browser. After troubleshooting with Spotify chat, it seems the issue is actually Firefox, because if I choose to play it via the app installed on my computer, it will play, but not via the web browser.

It was display "Spotify can't play this right now".. then it will skip through three songs, play ads & then will play the first 10 seconds of audio of the next song & then it will cut out.

Anyone else experiencing issues with Spotify via the Firebox web browser?

this exact question has been asked last year, none of the suggestions work: I am running Firefox 154.01 on Winux I have lost sound on Firefox. I have opened the same sites in Chromium and the sound is working fine. It's only in Firefox. I have tried several sites including , YouTube, and radio programs, no sound from Firefox. All of a sudden the sound disappeared. The speakers is turned on the volume is up, just not a sound from Firefox. What to do? Right now I had to switch over to Chromium
