I have a problem with videos being shaky/torn (as if frames overlap for split seconds) from time to time on Facebook when using Firefox.

I had the problem on YouTube also, but I solved it by editing about:config and setting:
media.mediasource.webm.enabled;true

Now YouTube videos seem to work smooth, however Facebook still don't. Chrome, for example, seems to play both good.

Here's what I tried so far:
Disabling hardware accelaration
Reseting Firefox by uninstalling and deleting user profile
Uninstalling antivirus
Turning off nVidia drivers
Changing about:config settings to:

  • browser.sessionstore.interval;150000
    media.fragmented-mp4.enabled;true
    media.fragmented-mp4.exposed;true
    media.fragmented-mp4.use-blank-decoder;true
    media.mediasource.youtubeonly;false
    media.mediasource.ignore_codecs;true
None fix this issue.

Can someone help? It seems that once I got MSE & WebM VP9 enabled in YouTube, it started working well. Is there an option to enable it for Facebook maybe?

Didn't help. This issue is actually very sporadic, some people may barely notice. But I do and it pisses me off sometimes. It's really hard to explain, I guess you could say I get some split second flickers. Any other tips?
