Why the fuck would Mozilla disable hardware acceleration by default on all Linux distros?!
Are they retarded?
>>
Linux users typically have 15 year old hardware and live in their mothers basement.
Makes perfect sense.
>>
>>60017921
Because Linux is fragmented as shit and you can't trust specific distros to work.
>>
>>60017961
It would be nice if they told me about that before disabling it and making FF slow for everyone.
>>
>>60017921
>Why the fuck would Mozilla disable hardware acceleration by default on all Linux distros?!
Perhaps because GNU+Linux is so shit that it would literally crash systems if enabled.

My house don't have basement, but wine cellar.

>>60017961
It's have nothing to do with fragmentation.

This is turned off by default for me on w7, maybe it's disabled for all platforms?
>>
>>60018569
So Mozilla went full retard?
>>
>>60018648
does that actually surprise you? every single time firefox updates it breaks something I rely on
>>
>>60018673
But they need to work on pocket.
We need pocket...and DRM!
>>
>>60018569
AFIAK it has alsways worked on a GPU blacklist. It's just always been disabled on Linux because of shitty drivers (mesa or proprietary).
>>
>>60018718
Proprietary Linux Intel drivers are superb.
>>
>>60018735
That give me a lot of tearning, even with tearfree. I have Intel HD 530 Graphics.
>>
>>60017921
Thanks, OP! Seems to werkz. Today, you were not a fgt. Yesterday, tho...wew lad.
>>
>>60018771
Stop using unity? You don't need a 3D compositor.
>>
>>60018771
Post compton config
>>
>>60018800
Who the fuck uses compton?
LXDE nor MATE have any problems since they don't use bloated compositors.
>>
>>60018648
If the driver is buggy, why would them enable it? Google fucked this up.

I'm fine with compton. Wish wayland would just work with proprietary drivers.

Seriously fags. I have never experienced screen tearing on any of my Thinkpads and old Toshibas. You are doing something wrong.

Force Full Composition Pipeline is a setting in the Nvidia driver.

Just admit that you idiots install the updater but never run it after installing the first package.

I wish I could get it to work.

Microsoft Windows doesn't have this problem.
>>
>>60020230
Firefox does have a Windows Version.

>using firefox in 2017
Why not just use Chrome/ium? It's not like there will be any difference after Firefox breaks all the plugins.
>>
>>60020278
>Why not just use Chrome/ium?
Because it's botnet shit

>It's not like there will be any difference after Firefox breaks all the plugins.
I'd be pretty sad to lose my dear plugins
