I’d rather have software decode of h.264 on par with Chromium. As it is I can’t watch Twitch on my laptop in Firefox.
Isn’t that just because Twitch doesn’t allow you to browse it using Firefox though?
No. The only Firefox problem I have on Twitch is that any video above 720p begins to stutter. And 720p makes my laptop work like crazy. Same on YouTube when I encounter an old video with h.264. It has already been reported. I just have to wait until someone fixes it.
Twitch is veeeeryyy slooowlyyy transitioning to AV1 for their livestreams, maybe that’ll work better than h.264 whenever it’s ready.
This is like the 6th time they’ve claimed this. I was attacked before for saying this wasn’t working correctly.
Weird, it’s been working for me for a while. I just need to manually set “media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled” to true in about:config.

That’s strange, I’m almost certain my desktop’s Firefox doesn’t have this (AMD GPU) while my laptop’s Firefox does (Nvidea GPU)
I just need to manually set
