** Changed in: firefox Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- 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/1688592 Title: Missing VA-API hardware decoding support drains battery Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Current devices ship with graphics devices supporting hardware decoding of certain video formats. While doing that, energy can be saved, as the main processor can go to sleep, and the graphics devices do their jobs more efficiently saving energy. Today, the browser is used a lot to watch movies. Unfortunately, the Firefox browser does not support VA-API hardware decoding, which is the interface to be used for Intel graphics device, which are included in current Intel processors. The issue in the Mozilla bug tracker [1] is open for over two years. Currently, this missing feature is a major show stopper for people using Ubuntu GNU/Linux on their laptops, as compared to Microsoft Windows one battery charge(?) lasts noticeably less time.

We have a generic preference to disable hardware acceleration, I'll hook it up to vaapi, but I have no intention at this stage to make specific cases for particular chipset. Would have to be in a separate bug.

Lack of hardware acceleration is the worse offender on Linux right now. Some youtube videos can not even play at a decent framerate because of that, especially the 4K / 360 ones. And that's without speaking of the heat generated by those poor CPUs... I do not get why it would not even go the other way, right to P1 ?
