There's a problem with video playback on firefox, where after a while/randomly, the thing happens as shown in the image. I've uninstalled intel graphics driver and reinstall, didn't work, I've refreshed firefox, didn't work, I've fully uninstalled firefox and reinstall, didn't work, and when the error occurs the igpu is at 100% usage (and ram/vram usage is not full). The whole firefox app will be laggy but not windows, and upon pausing the video only will firefox be free of lag, and a refresh will solve the issue. However, it will occur again once in a while, doesn't matter the resolution or volume, and not just youtube but all other video players. It does occur more frequently and predictably when the video is paused for some time, or when the computer sleeps for a while, and I think it has something to do with the way firefox handles ram. (just my guess)

The only fix that worked was setting media.wmf.dxva.d3d11.enabled to false, which is undesirable as it increases cpu usage by at least 20% as well as increasing my battery discharge. Other fix includes using other browsers, using my nvidia rtx on firefox, and (not totally sure) setting the resolution lower.

Also, after the error occurs/before the error occurs, firefox doesn't do that blink-in-blink-out animation when going fullscreen on video players (like chrome), which can be fixed by exiting the firefox application completely and restarting it. Refresh doesn't work here.

I listen to music and videos in tabs by pinning them. When doing so, the "Mute tab" icon is nearly half the size of the pinned tab. I've found others that have had this problem years ago (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1411474), but the trick they use to fix this no longer seems to work. Does anyone have a way of simply disabling the mute feature? It's honestly more annoying than helpful because I accidentally click that infernal mute button numerous times a day when I simply want to switch back to what's playing. Thanks for any help.

no matter what i try videos will NOT stop autoplaying it's driving me insane, disrupting my business and personal life and insane that none of the options actually work. I desperately need help please

Three days ago video clips in Firefox News stopped loading. I get the never-ending circle showing that the system is trying to open the video but it never loads. I am in the process of moving all applications and file from my old computer from one windows 11 computer to another. The videos work on the new computer but no longer on the old computer. Any suggestions regarding getting the videos to work on the old computer during this transition?

I am a senior citizen and trying my best to keep up with techno stuff. I have used FF for a long time with no problems. I am a keen Amateur photographer. I have started doing on line courses with the school of Photography, and some of the tutorial videos are very pixelated and UN-viewable. I have also just started subscribing to Adobe Light room and its the same there videos very pixelated. I contacted Dell as my laptop is only a few weeks old so they did remote assist and installed new drivers etc, then sent a follow up email in case all was not well. They suggested I contacted Adobe, so this i did and they did remote assist they also saw what i saw then the person s aid all is OK there end, so whilst doing remote the person installed Chrome on my laptop and the videos open perfectly. also within Firefox I hav started having the same issue with u tube videos, so can someone help me please is there a what is it ah yes extension. Whilst writing this something has come to mind i have always looked at u tube before with FF so is it this new laptop? hope someone can help please as no way i want Chrome but if i can not view LR videos in FF I will have no choice.Many thanks.

I have to unmute my mozilla in the volume mixer at least 7 times now in a span of 4 hours. Already tried the permission thing with autoplay and put it on allow audio and video and it's still randomly muting itself when things aren't even auto playing.

While typing this thing it muted itself again and nothing was playing. I'm so close to uninstalling this browser and going full on opera, or just eat up the cost and just buy 2 more sticks of ram and go google chrome.

I followed [article] ten realised that at the top it recommends not using quick time so uninstalled it,

however, after uninstalling quicktime, the browser plugin did not appear so it would not have worked anyway.

What solutions are there to this?

when accessing my voicemails for work, I need to access their online storage and listen from there. I used to use chrome and there were no issues. now, using firefox, I am being told to install Quicktime My understanding is that chrome uses NPAPI plugin. is there something similar on firefox?

when I attempt to access a URL from search and click on it, a longer url appears in the bar beginning with "doubleclick". I have to manually type the desired URL to get to the site. Many thanks. John

Hi, As you can see in the attached GIF, while scrolling though my x timeline some videos play OK while others have that green fuzz on them. It also happens when looking through Instagram stories, some work fine others are the green fuzz. Other sites, such as Youtube, have been working perfectly. I have tried clearing cache and cookies but it still happens. x and Instagram are both working fine on other browsers so the issue seems to be with Firefox.

I have Windows 11 and Firefox Version 134.0 (64-bit). My laptop is Asus Vivobook S.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Recently, I am increasingly experiencing a video playback issue, where the screen goes nuts with varying color pixels blocks. I haved the most recent version of firefox installed. Can someone help me please. Thanks in advance.

I'm having this weird issue where youtube videos will play fine as long as I don't seek the video. If I do seek a couple of times, the image will freeze but the audio continues. The subtitles also continue if enabled. Firefox Release 134.0.1--January 14, 2025 Fresh install from Flatpak. No addons installed.I have tried both on and off hardware acceleration but the issue still persists even in troubleshoot mode.But no problem with other firefox based browsers like mullvad,librewolf,zen.
