I thought that Google Play Music worked in FF without Flash now.

How can I get firefox to play .wav files natively, instead of loading up the VLC plugin? I've tried setting it to default and "always ask" and it still prompts me to use VLC.

There's a separate instance of Flash built into Windows that works in Edge and Internet Explorer. Don't know if that's from Windows 8 on or what. It gets updated silently with Windows Update. I'm sure as hell not installing Adobe's piece of poo poo manually just for Firefox and the minute amount of sites I use that can't seem to get with the times.

I installed fedora several months ago on my laptop, it fedora doesn't even have flash in repos I think, took me over a month to even notice it's not installed.

I haven't deployed Adobe Flash to Win10 ever. Ticket comes in: "Flash-using site X doesn't work in Firefox." Reply: "Intentional. Use Edge for that site." <close> The moment the last systems without Edge are gone in my environments is the moment I rejoice in having one less POS package to manage in sccm.

I still come across sites requiring Flash, like the BBC News website for the live news channel.

On Linux, if you absolutely must have Flash, it's probably best to run Chrome (not Chromium) for that one site. The new NPAPI releases are essentially an afterthought, whereas the PPAPI release is the same as the Windows and Mac releases (unless you use Speex for whatever reason).

I went back to Firefox after a couple of months of using Chrome. One thing I noticed is that pages with lots of animated gifs tax the CPU heavily. Opening 2 or 3 pages of the SA gif thread cause the CPU to be at 100% load. Firefox then becomes unresponsive. This never happened with Chrome.

For a while they had a problem with their rendering engine where gifs that started off-screen would try to "catch up" when scrolled into view, causing the browser to lock for a while at 100% load. It was really annoying. Other than that, if you're on a machine with limited CPU power then chrome is probably better. Chrome's image & video system is much more optimized than FF's, at the cost of higher memory use. On my old junky C2D laptop FF can't do 720p youtubes without frame dropping, chrome is generally ok (and VLC doesn't even peg the CPU).

I'm on 50.x and I've had similar issues since I moved to 64-bit back around 45. Right now it's fine, but sometimes a handful of avatars or thread tags will max out a core until I restart the browser.

Next time this happens you can see if they are really animated gifs, or if they're embedded gifv/gfycat videos. The latter aren't usually hardware-accelerated and, last I checked, they still render even if out of view.

Yeah, "gifv" is usually a WebM format video, and that's a trash format that isn't accelerated on most consumer hardware. You can try disabling them by setting the media.webm.enabled value in about:config to false - this will usually force those sites to fall back to mp4 format videos that get accelerated or regular animated gifs which may or may not work for you. Of course this is going to break that actually is just in webm. But that's not much.

Nah, it's an actual problem. I'm on 51 beta right now and I see it. Just open up an SA subforum with animating tags and look at the CPU load. It will probably be using a full core just to animate the stupid gifs.

It will probably be using a full core just to animate the stupid gifs. I can look at an entire page of gifs and still be under 20% total utilization, so most of one core on my 4x cpu. And it doesn't even push the CPU multiplier all the way up in cpuz (bounces around between x28 and x32 of the maximum x34). Are you actually getting slowdown from looking at a bunch of gifs, or are you just watching the windows performance monitor and tsk-tsking? Also if multi-threading is turned on, I would not be at all surprised by additional CPU load.

Klyith posted:or are you just watching the windows performance monitor and tsk-tsking? This. I have multi-threading enabled so I see two Firefox processes. If a page has a fast animating gif, one of the processes hovers around 20-25% utilization. I mean, it's not enough to kick my CPU into overdrive, but a page without any animated gifs uses only 1-4% CPU. It is a very stark difference. Something involving animated gifs is not very efficient in Firefox.

It was really annoying. My PC has an i5 2500 so if that isn't enough to render a few gifs I don't know what is. I get the same problem at work but the PCs there use some old lovely AMD CPUs. Latest Firefox on both PCs.

Nothing really exists to foist GIF rendering off to the GPU. On the other hand, depending on the codec, many current (last year or three) CPUs and GPUs can accelerated-decode VP8/9 just fine. Video COULD slow down Firefox if it's rendering GIFV or WebM in like ten background tabs in the same window-specific page-rendering process. If it IS that, you might try making videos not autostart in background tabs (set media.block-play-until-visible true in about :config). dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Jan 4, 2017 |

On my home computer FF stays responsive, but it takes a 5-10 second breather while loading that page where no gifs animate and no new gifs get rendered. Scrolling works and stays smooth, the page does not appear to have any unrendered parts apart from the gifs when this happens. I'm not sure about the settings on my work laptop, but on the home computer it's 64 bits with electrolysis enabled.

The smilies page used to stop my entire browser for 10+ seconds, but I just found out that it's HTTPS Everywhere's fault.

Back when HTTPS was rolled out here on SA it was really slow for me. Eventually I figured it that it was the "SSL Observatory" feature of HTTPS Everywhere (which was reporting the certificate for each individual avatar, emote, etc, as a separate connection which was obviously slow) and turning that feature off fixed it.

HTTPS Everywhere is an add-on that I want to like, but it breaks way too much stuff in annoying and unpredictable ways that don't immediately make you think "I should turn off HTTPS Everywhere and try again."

I yanked Privacy Badger a while ago for similar reasons. I'm not sure if it says more about the add-ons or the prevalence of cack-handed web design.

This is probably an extension issue (willing to bet Tab Mix Plus has something to do with it), and I haven't done any troubleshooting yet, but I figured I'd ask you guys first! I have a bookmark folder with about 25 links in it (webcomix). I'll often middle-click to open everything in the folder up in tabs. Since 50.x, it seems to display the following behaviour: 1) The tabs don't actually load until I click on them 2) They'll often load a cached version of the page until I refresh, even if browser.cache.check_doc_frequency is set to 1. Has anyone seen anything similar?
