MSE & WebM VP9 causing my cpu at full load
hi guys i have a realy big problem as the title says when im going and enabling MSE & WebM VP9 because without it i cant watch all resolutions at youtube my cpu is at 100% even at a 1080p video with that disabled i can watch 4k videos with my cpu at 30-40% propably bcz hardwere acceleration is working? i have an r9 380 4gb with latest drivers thanks for help :)
Chosen solution
Normally I would suggest trying in Safe Mode to rule out Themes and Extensions, but as that turns off HWA, it's not really a solution here. Worth trying without Themes and Extensions enabled, though.

anyone please???
Sorry that you haven't received an answer yet. Way beyond my expertise, but I do recommend that you check for updates for your graphics drivers and see if new drivers provide a resolution of your issues.

thank you for youre answer but i have everything latest :)
still nothing......
If the CPU is working so hard, hardware acceleration is most likely off. The whole point of it is to offload video to the GPU, which is more suited for handling the load. Curious that should only be the case for WebM/VP9.
To check, click the menu button (three bar sandwich), choose Options, select the Advanced panel, select the General tab, check Use hardware acceleration when available (if unchecked). Restart Firefox.
If going through the UI doesn't solve it, you might need to Refresh your Firefox settings - this has helped many people who upgraded to Windows 10, dragging along incompatible settings in their Firefox data.

I can see 40.0 had HWA and codec issues with Windows 10, but that is several versions back and the issue was since fixed.

You're welcome, glad to hear you're back on track!
I'll keep that in mind about suggesting the 64-bit build, as it seems to solve some issues people are having with 44.0.

can i ask a question again vp9 is more heavy than mp4 or what youtube was using? i cant watch 1440p videos on vp9 with mp4 i could watch 4k videos my cpu is still at 100% maybe vp9 is more heavy?
i have flash player installed maybe that could be the problem?
Firefox could use hardware based decoding for MP4 if your graphics display this supports, but will have to use software decoding for VP9.
You can check that in the graphics section on the about:support (Help > Troubleshooting Information) page.
i found only that Supports Hardware H264 Decoding Yes i cant find anything related to vp9 WebGL Renderer Google Inc. -- ANGLE (AMD Radeon (TM) R9 380 Series Direct3D11 vs_5_0 ps_5_0) also i should also mention that vp9 is not by default enabled im going at about:config and enabling media.mediasource.webm.enabled
