[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

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.

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The product::component has been changed since the backlog priority was decided, so we're resetting it.
For more information, please visit auto_nag documentation.

Please open about:config and reset these prefs back to their default:
gfx.webrender.compositor (experimental Wayland-only feature)
gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled (experimental Wayland-only feature)
gfx.webrender.fallback.software
gfx.webrender.fallback.software.requires-gpu-process
gfx.webrender.precache-shaders
gfx.webrender.svg-images
gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled
media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled
media.ffvpx.enabled
media.rdd-vpx.enabled
webgl.enable-ahardwarebuffer (Android-only feature)
webgl.enable-draft-extensions
webgl.enable-privileged-extensions
webgl.force-enabled

Please use https://nightly.mozilla.org for testing https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver.
Experimental features are more stable with Nightly than with Stable because not all patches get backported.

You might also want to try out https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/tools/sanitizer/asan_nightly.html and set your email address (the same you use on bugzilla) in the asanreporter.clientid pref. Should it run into a security-relevant crash, you might get money.

Comment 8

[Freaked Enough]

no, that would mean loss of any kind of 3d acceleration and hardware ecoding

Comment 9

[Darkspirit]

No, not any kind. You would still have hardware rendering. You would only disable experimental hardware video decoding with highly experimental nvidia-vaapi-driver.

Please use https://nightly.mozilla.org if you want to enable media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled on highly experimental nvidia-vaapi-driver.

Comment 10

[Freaked Enough]

no, before switching these flags and getting nvidia-vaapi-driver i had only use of cpu. its usage went down extremely since i use vaapi.
i know nvidia and linux is shit, but thats the only solution that works so far at all.

Comment 11

[Darkspirit]

If you want to keep using Firefox Stable, please set these prefs back to their default.
(If "Compositing" on about:support is "WebRender", you have hardware rendering. Yes, you would still have software decoding for videos and that would cause higher CPU load.)

If you want to keep testing vaapi and egl, please use https://nightly.mozilla.org, but only set the prefs mentioned on https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver.
Experimental features are more stable in Nightly than in Stable because not all patches get backported.
