Firefox is slow/jerky when video is playing in another tab
Hello, I often use my multimonitor setup to watch Youtube video on one screen and browse the internet on another and while the video is playing in one Firefox window others are noticeably slower, this can be seen especially while scrolling through a page it feels like ~10 fps. My CPU usage is around 10-20% depends on the video quality. I tried disabling my addons but it didn't help. CPU is 2500k 4.4GHz and GPU is GTX 970.
Thanks for any suggestions.

- default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
- Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)

TEST if no problems is Extensions or Profile.

Give this a try if still being allowed : go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check (put a tick in the box) the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser.

This isn't something of a FF issue but a Windows and Nvidia driver issue that your having. Did you ask Windows or Nvidia support forum about this?

Hello, I followed your guide and refreshing Firefox helped, I got my extensions and setting back to where they were before and still can't replicate the issue so finally I don't know what the cause was, but it works perfect now.
