on macOS 14.5.1 and x86 laptop (e.g Macbook Pro 2020 with i7/2.3Ghz/Iris GPU), and for the past years, at least since 2017, Firefox joining a Google Meet kicks off fans like crazy, making a ton of noise. For some reason (optimization, throttling, not sure), Chrome doesn't exhibit this issue.
I commented in: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1670193 2 years ago but I'm surfacing this here because, eventhough M1/2/3 fix this, I'm stuck with x86 for 2 more years and it's just painful.
If there's no fix (GPU offload, CPU optimization on the GMeet side, on the Mozilla side), could we at least throttle the CPU/GPU usage to avoid triggering fan ? I wouldn't mind downgrading audio/video quality if that's the cost to have a relatively silent laptop.
