Hi, When I play a YouTube video, there is no sound, then (I'm assuming) there is an update, and the sound returns until the next update, when the sound disappears. I have had everyone try to solve the problem, and even the tech guys don't have an answer, and yes, I get sound from Chrome. Also, when I download a YouTube it plays perfectly fine. Are you able to fix the problem?

YouTube videos encoded at 60 frames per second are extremely choppy in Firefox only. Microsoft Edge plays the same videos perfectly.

I have deleted my profile and reinstalled Firefox, updated graphics driver to the latest version, and toggled hardware acceleration on and off. Nothing helps.

earlier i was watching youtube in firefox and it worked just fine. a few minutes later all is blurry i tried reinstalling firefox that did not help i turned off and removed some extent ions and still blurry.I went to Youtube on Chrome so clear so exact what a difference so what is wrong with firefox can not show the videos to show you the difference. God im about to leave firefox and go to chrome so much better https://youtu.be/JmcA9LIIXWw?list=RD2nXGPZaTKik this first one id firefoxnow the next one is chromenot sure you can tellhttps://youtu.be/JmcA9LIIXWw?list=RDEMuE6Gehe2nhwcsffOocM1oQnow tell me why n firefox is blurry

On any video player that has a gradient, it breaks when I full-screen the video, showing as solid semi-opaque bars instead of the intended gradients.

This happens on any video player I've used that has a gradient, and is most noticeable on YouTube due to the double gradient.

It displays normally when I use snipping tool, so apologies for the bad quality on the second image.

I use Ublock Origin and Dark Reader, but this behaviour doesn't change when either is disabled.

Ever since upgrading to FF 140 yesterday, there is a new icon labeled "Manage use of DRM Software" in the browser just left of the URL, which violently shakes every time I open a website that requires approval to play DRM content.

Now, I do not play any DRM content and have deactivated anything related in the settings, yet every time I open e.g. discord.com where users might embed music or videos in chat rooms (that are optional and ignored by me) that silly icon starts shaking again, which is super annoying.

Is there a way to remove it altogether, or AT LEAST disable the shaking?

Hello Firefox Support team,

This has been an issue sins ever when I use a direct link to either a YT Channel or a Twitch Channel the Sound 100% never works. The sound plays for 1 frame and then just goes missing. when I open the Twitch homepage link with a Bookmark the issue does not occur.

p.s this happen with every audio source that I open with a link from my Bookmark. Youtube, Twitter, Twitch, Netflix ... tis super annoying and removes the use of Bookmarks for me. Reloading the site does not fix it, I have to open a new tab for it to work but only when I dont use any Bookmarks. Removing and creating new Bookmarks also does not change anything.

I hope someone can help me.

When assigning a URL to the mediaplayer object it started appending the current path to the URL. Did not do that in prior version. You can see it automatically puts the current browsing URL and then the URL that is assigned. So the file will not load.

allow audio and video is preset as the default, however, it is still muted. when you got to mute audio it won't play the video, and no audio/video seems to be working fine, I've followed all the guides, tried everywhere I'm aware of in firefox and nothing seems to work

I've been trying to play multiple videos at once, but when I pause one, it pauses all of them, and vice-versa. I'm not sure if this is a settings or config issue. I've tried disabling all extensions, and the issue persists. It's frustrating having the background music pause every time I have to pause a lecture to write some notes down.

There is a preference "media.gmp-widevinecdm.visible" When it is set to true we can see the Widevine addon in Add-ons and Themes. When Firefox is close the setting reverts to false and the addon is no longer visible.

Is this expected behaviour?

We cannot get Netflix to play DRM content. We are currently getting the UI3012 error. We updated the prefererence "media.gmp-widevinecdm.force-chromium-update".

I don't have a netflix account so I can't test on my PC, but setting the above preference on my PC and visiting netflix.com seems to be enough to trigger the installation of Widevine, as I have a folder called;

F:\Users\Tanya\Profiles\ownri05i.default\gmp-widevinecdm\4.10.2891.0

On my PC.

My brother, who is the one experiencing the issue, says he does not have the gmp-widevinecdm folder in his profile folder. However, before updating the force update preference he was getting the F7701-1003 error which changed to UI3012 after setting that preference.

The problem started when I updated his PC from a very old Windows 10 21H2 patch level (2486), to the current 21H2 patch level 5854 and updated Firefox 115.9.1 to Firefox 128.11.0

Will look into OS version upgrades later in the year, but for now I'd like to get Netflix working again.
