BSOD when dragging window between monitors on recent builds.

Post by JohnnyH12 »

Just recently I started getting a BSOD when trying to drag my Nightly window between dual monitors. This ONLY happens with Firefox, and just started within the last couple days. It also ONLY happens when I have "Hardware Acceleration" enabled in the Firefox settings. Otherwise everything else works fine as it has been. The main monitor is hooked up to my GPU, and the secondary is hooked up to my internal graphics. The error occurs with the file Dxgmms1.sys when I get the BSOD.

I am on version 115.0a1 (2023-05-11) (64-bit) using Windows 10.

I updated both the Nvidia drivers and the Intel drivers. I disable Hardware Acceleration on Firefox, and then it works fine. I have Hardware Acceleration turned on in Chrome, and I am able to drag windows freely between monitors, as I have been with all programs including Firefox up until about 2 days ago. Nightly is the only program this happens with, and only with Hardware Acceleration turned on.

But everything else works fine when dragging windows. It's only Firefox.
