Severe 4K video playback stuttering in version 141.0.3

Version 141.0.3 has severe stuttering when playing 4K videos on web pages. Previous versions and the Chrome browser both play them smoothly, so it's definitely not a hardware issue. I hope this can be fixed.

Experiencing 4K video stuttering in Firefox version 141.0.3 is a known issue, often linked to codec handling and hardware acceleration. To address this:

  • Install VP9 and AV1 Extensions: Ensure both "VP9 Video Extensions" and "AV1 Video Extension" are installed from the Microsoft Store.

  • Disable AV1 Codec: Navigate to about:config, search for media.av1.enabled, and set it to false.

  • Update Graphics Drivers: Outdated drivers can hinder video playback; ensure your GPU drivers are up to date.

  • Test in a New Profile: Create a fresh Firefox profile to rule out configuration issues.
