Simple fix for jittery full screen YouTube video
Posted: Tue May 22, 2018 2:26 pm
Ever since I go the big wide-screen 3440x1440 monitor I've noticed really annoying jitter and frame dropping when playing back YouTube (and other video streaming services).
The fix is to disable WebGL:
1. Open the browser settings page. To do this, type in the address bar: about:config.
2. In the search box, type in: webgl.
3. Find line “webgl.disabled”. It has the “false” value. It is necessary to change it to “true”. To do this simply click twice on this line.
4. Restart Firefox.
OPTIONAL: Make sure hardware acceleration is enabled in the Firefox settings (not necessary if you have a beefy enough CPU):
Options -> Performance = "Use recommended performance settings"
