Description Couret Charles-Antoine 2016-11-20 13:19:29 UTC
Description of problem:
It happens that I load many videos at the same time.
And sometimes, all video are looping. These loops are based on 1 second of the video. But it occurs indefinitely. I have to restart Firefox to fix the issue.

But the loops are only for images, the sound continue normally to be played.
It happens for all websites like Youtube, Dailymotion, etc. Without Flash technology.

It happened since Firefox update to version 50. I use Firefox with GNOME Wayland session.
I don't have similar issue with Totem for example.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fiefox-50.0-1.fc25
*wayland*-1.12.0-1.fc25
gnome*-3.22.1-2.fc25

How reproducible:
Load many videos and play them (not at the same time of course)..

I have the same with fiefox-50.0-2.fc25 with an AMD GPU. Rolling back to firefox-49.0.2-1.fc25 fixes the issue for me.

Also, my laptop with an Intel GPU hasn't had this issue at all.

Comment 2 Couret Charles-Antoine 2016-12-03 13:50:25 UTC
I have the same issue with firefox-50.0.2-2.fc26 (Rawhide).
Same conditions, GNOME Wayland with nouveau driver (nVidia Quadro 1000m nvc1).

Comment 3 Couret Charles-Antoine 2016-12-23 09:21:14 UTC
With a different machine with Intel Graphics and Fedora 25, Firefox >= 50.0, no issue.
But the issue continue on my computer with nVidia graphical card and Fedora Rawhide.

I don't get relevant info from logs. Do you have an idea to solve this bug or to get information about it?

Comment 4 Couret Charles-Antoine 2017-01-20 23:08:29 UTC
No idea to solve the bug or to find relevant logs?

Comment 5 Couret Charles-Antoine 2017-01-22 10:20:00 UTC
I updated to Firefox 51.0, no improvement.
I tested with X11 session and it happened too.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 18:53:57 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:29:19 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
