Without hardware acceleration youtube videos are lagging in full screen and 4k videos not possible to watch at all. I`ve tried to do this http://askubuntu.com/questions/491750/force-enable-hardware-acceleration-in-firefox , but ff is flckering and I cannot use it . In settings acceleration turned on. The Newest ati drives are installed. Trivial things dont work it`s sad.

Certain hardware will not work properly with Firefox's hardware acceleration. Please contact the manufacturer of your computer's hardware for further assistance on this issue.

In age of youtube, vimeo, 4k resolution and other things which uses gpu rendering u r not supporting? Even chrome for linux supports. Sorry, but f*ck dat sh*t. Really, cannot understand what u r doing on linux, when key features cannot be made working.
