>Can you please clarify what does fix-optional status for firefox 100 mean for this bug?
It means that if there is a simple fix for the issue, release management would've considered taking that fix into Firefox 100. As is hopefully rather obvious, there isn't going to be a simple fix for this. It needs a ton of work - that has progressed well, thankfully. >I assume this bug will be fixed once video decoding has been moved to a utility process (bug 1722051). The utility process makes it easier to move things in a separate processes each with a custom sandbox, but the plan is to fix the current RDD process for VA-API support before we consider that. The difficulty is adding support for exactly those features VA-API needs - multiplied by each video driver having slightly different requirements. Once the sandboxing code supports that we can look if there'd be a meaningful security benefit in moving things around. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1964547 Title: [upstream] RDD sandbox prevents HW-accelerated video playback Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: • Ubuntu 21.10 (64 bit) • Firefox 98 installed via apt (cookies & cache have been cleared) • Kernel 5.13.0-30-generic x86_64 • Tried on both wayland and X11 session → same result Steps to reproduce: (1) Visit https://www.youtube.com (2) Choose one of the video Actual Result: Video doesn't play What Expected: Video Play normally Previously it was normal on Firefox 97 (apt version) Tried installing Firefox 98 Snap version and it works normally To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1964547/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
