Hi Firefox team,

I am having issues after updating to the latest version of Firefox. When opening a Google Meet meeting, my Firefox browser crashes and it keeps doing again and again. Otherwise, the browser works just fine.

The following is from the abouts:crashes webpage: ID: fcf6a6af-3c59-4e02-9d1b-3b2cf0210927 Signature: VTPixelTransferSessionCanUseMetalInTheBackground

Thank you, Yerkebulan

That looks like a problem with VideoToolbox that handles hardware-accelerated video encoding and decoding.

Are there settings possible to change the video resolution or possibly disable video hardware acceleration ?

Hi there,

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately, this doesn't explain why my browser crashes as I don't have any software for hardware-accelerated video encoding and decoding. Any other reasons?

Kind regards
