DISCLAIMER: I found many articles about this issue, but none of them solved this problem.


DESCRIPTION: I have a problem with Firefox on my backup PCs that makes it freeze/slow down everytime i try to • play more gifs at once • play HTML5/Flash video on high quality/bitrate or loading more post on facebook. • Simmilar action that require system resources.

I believe that firefox won't use all available system resources. This issue always occur on "load" and system resources are always around 30-50% of use based on Windows 10 task manager (near usual load on my backup PC without running services/programs s it still uses only around 10% of resources).

NOTE: This issue is notable mostly on my backup PC with limited performance, but i found simmilar issues on main PC. The difference is that on main PC it uses enough resources to run without notable performance drop.

This problem is on firefox only (tested on chrome and edge).

END-USER OPINION: I believe that there is problem in firefox settings that prevents it to use all system resources.

TRIED SOLUTIONS: • Reinstall flash = Without effect • Tries Firefox stable build = Without effect. • Disable/Enable hardware acceleration = Without effect.

• Reinstall Firefox using iobit uninstaller to remove all registry and perform clean installation of firefox. > Without effect.

• Installing different firefox versions. > Without effect.

• Running firefox without extensions. > Without effect with ads and white stuff that prints stuff into my retina.

• Messing up with about:config. > Mostly more harm then good done and even then when i try to change one at a time and verify its effect on system i cant seem to find anything that could affect firefox performance to solve this problem.

• Forcing videos to use HTML5 instead of flash and conversely. > It won't play HTML5 on youtube and flash is lagging on higger bitrate. I believe that it won't play HTML5 due my youtube settings HTML5 worked fine on other sources.

There is none error message it just slow down/freeze based on workload without use of system resources.

One thing is clear FF release public is 58.0.2 using beta isn't advised so install the Public release to insure the problem is not related to beta problems.

Already tested it in Firefox 58.X before i wrote this question. Seems like same problem to me (tested now just to make sure).

I believe that its a problem with firefox optimization for YouTube 60fps/high bitrate videos.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting to make the change effective.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.

Tried, no effect except that firefox seems slower (loading takes longer) on CPU. :/
