I-Firefox Community Forum

Hi all. I'm experiencing a frustrating video playback issue in Firefox on my Mac. Whenever I move my cursor, the video becomes noticeably blurry until I stop moving it. Then it takes a second and returns to normal sharpness. This problem is exclusive to Firefox and doesn't happen in other browsers. One interesting quirk is that it seems like the lower the video resolution is, the more noticeable the blur appears.

This video on Reddit shows my issue perfectly: https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/qbecrh/m1_has_problem_when_playing_video_and_moving/

I've already tried several common fixes, including disabling hardware acceleration and other graphics settings such as tinkering with gfx.webrender, but nothing has resolved it. I'm hoping someone on the forums might know if this is a known bug or if there's a solution I haven't found yet.

Specs: MacBook Pro w/ M1 Max (2021) macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 Firefox 143.0 (aarch64) ... but the issue has been going on for years so I doubt that the macOS or Firefox version has anything to do with it.

I'm at a total loss here and would be immensely grateful for any help.

So basically, video on Youtube plays fine, as long as its focused. When I focus to another window on my other monitor the video drop FPS to like 15 FPS range, which is turbo annoying. Any idea how to fix this crap?

Hello, So I have chosen Firefox as my default for 10 years now over the others. Lately every time you guys update I can't play videos from Starz and Paramount. First one update ruined Starz and now this past update ruined Paramount. YouTube plays fine and Netflix play fine.. Network TV stations play fine (CBS, NBC, Fox, & ABC). Now no matter what I do as far as setting I can't get videos to play on those 2 Platform

Since my Firefox updated, the audio system is not work that I miss most virtual meetings. I tried multiple times but I cannot update to play the audio system. Please help the steps to set up my computer system. Thank you. Jong Lee

Hi Team

1. The issue the when I play the video on 2x in YouTube then video and audio both stats lagging.

2. When I am watching any video on YouTube in firefox and minimise it and again open the browser then is open in landscape mode although my auto rotating in off.

There are these 2 bugs which i have found.

Rest are Awesome you are doing great work.

Thank.

When I play a downloaded video that is in English, my downloaded file plays back in a foreign language, not English. What am I doing to cause this and how can I have the English version only in playback everytime? Thank you so much, being a pensioner I am eager awaiting the ability to donate to you excellent work as often as I like.

For a few weeks now, the bluetooth sound drops out or will not connect, the screen freezes and says Firefox is not responding, the screen buffers for a while. V annoying and only when connecting bluetooth sound. Have tried with two different brand speakers, same thing happens. The bluetooth keyboard does not drop out at all, ever. Image is while listening to a TV series on Hulu~

Respected one, since 2 days ago, the sound was lost when playing video content on platform X. I did not make any changes in the settings for M.F. not even in PC, I HAVEN'T CHANGED ANYTHING FOR MONTHS. Do you have any ideas, advice... Thank You for taking the time to solve my problem.
