Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Play a video in one browser window.
  2. Open a second browser window
  3. Test in second browser window

GPU: GTX 1060 3gb with binary blob 470.57.02

Actual results:

The second browser window exhibits choppy scrolling and animation, at roughly 20 fps instead of 60. The browser window with video playback remains perfectly smooth.

If the video is paused, the second browser window becomes smooth again.

*Can be remedied by forcing webrender to be disabled in about:config. Bug occurs with and without compositing enabled.

Expected results:

Both windows remain perfectly smooth regardless of video playback.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Graphics: WebRender' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.
