YouTube videos on Firefox getting slower and jerky. After refreshing Firefox (Settings -> Help -> More troubleshooting information -> Refresh Firefox), it is OK, but only for a short while. Then the problem starts again. Same YouTube videos are running fine with Chrome at the same time.

Running Windows 11 Pro (Clean windows setup not long ago and the issue was there from the beginning.) German Language Firefox 116.0.2 Build ID 20230805021307 Intel CPU i7-1360P, 16 GB RAM, 1TB M.2 SSD

Would really appreciate a solution for the issue because I really like Firefox!

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Looks like the solution for the issue is to change in about:config 

     gfx.webrender.compositor = true

to: 

     gfx.webrender.compositor = false


I tried it for a few days and the issue is still gone.

Thank you very much @zeroknight
