[Are You A Wiiizard?]

Hmm... @_chaser_ why aren't you getting served VP9? Do you use H264ify extension? Anyways I tested Youtube H264 at just 1080p60 and am getting dropped frames, there's definitely an issue there. That said, VP9 can't run on my low end hardware at 4k60 without dropped frames...

EDIT: Oh wait, if that is a stream it won't be vp9.

EDIT2: https://gaming.youtube.com/ Crashed my tab (Bug 1461204 i think)

It happened once when first loading the site and clicking the popup crap that said something about "get started".

Because youtube switched to a codec AVC1(H264).

Do you use H264ify extension?

Not using.

[Are You A Wiiizard?]

Because youtube switched to a codec AVC1(H264).

It shouldn't be using H264 for anything but streams. Check media.webm.enabled preference in about:config and try enabling it if it's disabled.

Well, so the thread drops on YouTube in 720p and 1080p 60fps. I tried with a new profile, also lag.
media.webm.enabled - true(default)

*translated into Google

[Are You A Wiiizard?]

media.webm.enabled - true(default)

What about media.wmf.vp9.enabled ?

[_chaser_]

media.webm.enabled - true(default)

What about media.wmf.vp9.enabled ?

Also, the default setting is true.

Newsletter number twenty is here, delayed again by a combination of days off and the bi-annual Mozilla AllHands which took place last week in San Francisco.
A big highlight in the WebRender side is the work on porting all primitives to the brush system approaching completion. Individually, porting each primitive doesn’t sound like much but with all of the pieces coming together:

-Most complex primitives can be segmented, moving a lot of pixels to the opaque pass and using intermediate targets to render the tricky parts.
-The majority of the alpha pass is now using the brush image shader which greatly improves batching. We generate about 2 to 3 times less draw calls on average now than a month ago.

This translates into noticeable performance imporvements on a lot of very complex pages. The most outstanding remaining performance issues are now caused by the CPU fallback which we are working on moving off of the critical path, so things are looking very promiscing especially with the mountain of other performance improvements we are currently holding off on to concentrate on correctness.

Speaking of fixing correctness issues, as usual we can see from the lists below that there is also a lot of progress in this area.

It appears that my add-ons are losing their "link" to AMO. So what happens is that the add-ons continue working perfectly fine, but at about:addons, they are all missing their AMO ratings, and some of them are missing their author names, icons etc. if they weren't included in their manifest. I would assume this also breaks their updating.

I noticed this yesterday for the first time. Manual installation of the add-ons from AMO on top of the existing 'orphaned' add-ons had seemed to make things work (even across restarts) but now the issue is back again. I'm on 62.0a1 (2018-06-18), Windows 10. Don't have CCleaner or any external program interfering.

Anybody else seeing this?

In bug 1452645 [1] we are planning to remove the "Load this bookmark in sidebar" feature.
...
Extensions are able to open pages in the sidebar, ... hence, they could add very similar functionality.
