Hello i upgraded from Firefox 93 to 94 on a Dell Latitude E6530 and i now have problems of images “hashed” as if it was appearing image by image though it was fluid before. The sound remains fluid. For now, I also tested it on a Dell Vostro 3550 with a similar confguration / same internet connection but still in Firefox 93 and the video display is fluid.
In both cases the computers are i5 + 16GB RAM + 500MB SSD under KDE Plasma latest stable release. and Open GL 3
Anyone having a similar problem ? Anything i can check ?
“So give Firefox 94 a try. If anything goes wrong, please file a bug. You can also disable EGL and switch back to GLX. Go to about:config page and flip gfx.x11-egl.force-disabled preference and restart browser.”
i changed my Manjaro settings to Xrender / direct / best fluidity in spite of open GL 2 or 3 that was planting problems of performance … and changed that way video is back working in Youtube.
I think that i am going to make a clean new install and see if the problem is persistant with open GL.
UPDATE
Tested Youtube + Firefox with a fresh ISO installations.
Firefox 93 works in Open GL2 and Open GL3
If i upgrade to Firefox 94
no more works correctly with Open GL3 (hashed videos)
Works fine with Open GL2
if i switch to open gl3 then when i come ack to open GL2 it keeps having hashed videos.
End of my tests. I let better skilled users test it … anyway better not move to open GL3 or it plants problems with Youtube and certainly things to setup in a better way than i did.
At the end the question is : what is the best setting ? Anyway Open GL2 gives a better video quality than xrender as for what i could test on my configuration.
I made some more tests today and using Wayland solves the Opengl3 video problem. Moreover video seems globally better with Wayland.
I’ll stick to Wayland + Opengl2.
Maybe the solution would also be to have Wayland installed by default in spite of having to do sudo pacman -S plasma-wayland-session then switching from X11 to Wayland on start screen ?
