I have an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 and a Quad core Xeon. If I play YouTube videos my GPU temp goes over 80C, this doesn't happen with VLC as it uses the CPU. Can I make Firefox use the CPU instead of GPU?

The main reason for the high GPU temp is related to cat dander and silly narrow cooling passages on the video card I need to clean every six months. I'd prefer a software solution to the problem, the hardware solution of shaving the cats is not acceptable to my wife or the cats.

Hello,

You may have seen a post or received a notification regarding support for Firefox or Thunderbird with a link to another site or a phone number being posted. This is a scam and is not a method to receive support from Mozilla. Mozilla does not have telephone or email support. Please do not click on the link and do not interact by calling any phone numbers or email addresses listed. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.
