Hi guys,

since I installed firefox version 68.0.1 I noticed that firefox has problems when playing html5 videos. The video freezes for a few seconds, while the audio keeps playing. Firefox in general is unresponsive during these freezes.

The problem persists with a clean firefox profile, so I don't think it's a cache/saved data issue. I may try to downgrade to a previous version to see if the problem is still there. The problem has persisted up to firefox 68.0.1-2.

Let me know if anyone else encountered the issue, and if I can give info to help.

Thanks a lot.
This task depends upon

aa24kk, does the problem persist in firefox 70.0?

I found other applications froze as well, and everything came back to normal after removing the package xf86-video-intel. I forgot to request closure, my bad.
