Improve Audio Quality for High-Speed Video Playback in Firefox

[gnunard]

As a converted Chromium-based browser user, I frequently watch videos at 1.5x speed by default. One of the biggest differences I’ve noticed between my formely preferred browser, Vivaldi (Chromium-based), and Firefox is the significant drop in audio quality at higher playback speeds in Firefox.

In Chromium browsers, audio remains clear and intelligible even at speeds above 1.5x, whereas in Firefox, the sound often becomes distorted or harder to understand. Improving audio processing for high-speed video playback in Firefox would make it a much more viable option for users who consume content at faster speeds.

I would love to see Firefox enhance its audio quality for high-speed playback to match or exceed Chromium’s performance. Is this something the Firefox team could consider?
