After the 85 update on Linux, Facebook and Instagram videos started playing choppy (low FPS), YouTube videos are fine though. They work okay on the Brave browser. I tried refreshing Firefox but it didn't help, so it's not from my add-ons.

Edit: Vimeo videos have the same problem.

OMG!!!! That vimeo video was CRAZY!!! But, I had no issue with any of the videos. Can you try downloading a separate version of Firefox to a folder and run it to test?

Let me get back to that Vimeo video.  ;-))

Downloaded a .deb v84.0.1 package (I'm currently using flatpak v85) and it worked fine.. :| Why is it broken on flatpak, or is it because of the version.. :/

The Debian package just got updated on Pop!_OS to 85 and it seems that the problem comes from the Flatpak...
