hardware acceleration

Similar Questions

• Firefox used to work fine until last week, now hangs at startup - have reinstalled, tried to uncheck hardware acceleration - not fixed.

  Until the week last Firefox coasted reasonably little pop-up (windows 10), now it crashes immediately. I reinstalled, ticked hardware acceleration (it starts in safe mode), but is not fixed. Any ideas?

  Thank you, looking at these reports, it seems that this may be caused by external software on the computer. go to control panel of your system and remove any software marked 'Freecorder"or similar, or by the Publisher"Applian Technologies"or any other toolbars.

• Problem with fonts. If enable hardware acceleration "BOLD" fonts look weird, but if I turn it off, "BOLD" fonts seem good, but normal fonts look weird

  Title.

  With hardware acceleration: http://imgur.com/jHRk6Yl words 'empty' look and really weird air instead of being "BOLD". But if I disable it, normal fonts look "weird" in some Web sites (not all) and are difficult to read.
  Any solution?

  Thank you!

  Hmm, another user Windows 10 reported this after installing some Helvetica fonts.

  In your screenshot, the text 'blue indicated' is the following style rule:

  font-family: "helvetica neue",arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
  

  So I guess you have Helvetica Neue installed locally, which seems to have strange problems in Firefox.

  If you don't want to remove this font on your system, you can use custom style rules for Firefox overrides Arial, which is what I see on Windows 7 on this page. I saw the first time that documented in this article (from 2010!):

• Hardware acceleration of flash player does not work on windows 10

  I installed windows 10 yesterday, everything works fine except the hardware acceleration in flash. I don't see that a green video if I activate hardware acceleration. Work videos flash if I disable hardware acceleration, but I don't think it's a good solution because the CPU usage goes way up. I have an AMD ATI Radeon HD 4890 and I use the drivers supplied with windows 10 because amd has not released any Windows 10 drivers for my card. Strange thing is that hardware acceleration works fine in chrome, so I think this isn't a driver problem, is there some way I can fix this in firefox?

  I solved the problem by installing the drivers amd since the INF, now working on hardware acceleration!

  Edit: It seems that the Green video problem is solved with this solution because the CPU usage is always the same with hardware acceleration disabled

• Turn off hardware acceleration to resolve failures and defects of graphics.

  A few weeks ago Thunderbird updated itself, and the life of my email went to hell. The continuous black screen. Often he was missing all the icons on e-mail records. I had often to minimize and reopen Thunderbird to see anything. I kill then restarting it maybe 8 times a day when he hooked completely. He crashed himself and sent error reports, perhaps 20 times a day. Absolutely horrible.

  Finally, I found this article, which explains how to disable hardware acceleration:

  http://www.askvg.com/how-to-disable-hardware-acceleration-GPU-rendering-in-Mozilla-Firefox-4-0-to-fix-font-problem/

  It worked. Apparently in one of the recent updates, enabled Thunderbird when hardware acceleration for my system, he had to be turned off. (I vaguely remember turning it off before.)

  In addition, there are a simple switch off in the Options.

  "Tools" > "Options" > "Advanced" > "Général" tab
  or
  'Icon menu' > 'Options' > 'Options' > "Advanced" > "Général" tab

  To turn off:
  Uncheck the "use hardware acceleration when available.
  Click on 'OK '.

• Hardware acceleration can be improved in the non support Windows XP?

  I was able to diagnose my problems with the new windows that open instead of tabs and expectant keyboard following the indications of support: start in safe mode, removing the hardware acceleration, reboot normally and... .no problem! I would like to know if it is possible to update the graphics drivers in Windows XP - pro before going through the whole process (I'm not a tech savvy type). My internet loading is already slow as it is, rural DSL speeds, but I rather just be patient rather than to tackle the constant keyboard problems that have been driving me crazy. Please let know us if it is worth trying to upgrade or not.

  Personal opinion, away from NVIDIA / GeForce video cards. AMD / ATI based cards seem to work better with Firefox that the GeForce cards based on the research I did in April for a new PC, I was building at that time here.

  No problems with hardware acceleration or Firefox on Win7 32 bit with focus on the AMD Radeon video card from ASUS that I installed (~55.00 USD). But with Windows XP, you may never be able to use hardware acceleration, 'new' video cards do not support an EOL as WinXP operating system, and those that do may not provide enough in the long term, as Mozilla continues to twist HA in Firefox.

  Just read another similar problem. So I tried...
  
  
  Disabling hardware acceleration to tools | optioins. Advanced | General
  
  
  
  It now seems to work OK. IE no crashes.
  I'll watch the problem. for a period of time.

• Disabling hardware acceleration also live up to anti-aliasing of fonts

  As in the title.

  First screenshot shows what happens with hardware acceleration enabled, which seems better, second screenshot shows how it looks an alias with disabled acceleration with the race missing in some places on the very light fonts.

  However, when hardware acceleration is enabled, if I open very large images or batch of images on line at the same time, the browser window will flash white, all tabs will lose their favicons and you must restart the browser. For this reason, I try to keep disabled hardware acceleration, but use (or method) for the rendering of the fonts only, if such a thing is possible. Also, I want a fix for hardware acceleration, causing such behaviour, although it seems more difficult.

  ClearType and font smoothing are both on the channel. Disabling one of them makes the fonts still worse.

  Thanks in advance.

  In fact, I've corrected the problem. Gfx.direct2d.force layout compatible true was what it took.

• 10 charts of Thunderbird Windows are not correctly RESOLVED caused by hardware acceleration

  All my Thunderbird 38.0.1 graphics do not correctly display in Windows 10 (10130)

  I found the answer. I had to disable hardware acceleration.

  Options > advanced
  Use hardware acceleration when available.

• Why Thunderbird freezes my computer after installation of exit 38 RESOLVED: hardware acceleration = suspended new pop ups (bug 1186755) message notification

  Exit 38A was pushed to my computer 3 days ago. Now, the computer crashes whenever I hit him 'Get messages.' Every time. My business down a setback.

  Hardware acceleration has been disabled and notifications have been reactivated. Thunderbird (and the computer) will not freeze.

• Firefox crashes when I restart. I found an answer related to the hardware accelerator but cannot find a way to get to it?

  When I close firefox and reopen it, it lights up briefly and then crash. I am able to open it by clicking on a link that requires a password and use it from there, but that takes some time and its very annoying. I have a Blocker to add and I don't want to get rid of using safe mode. I read something about turning off hardware acceleration, but when I go to tools, theres no button options. IM also using a MacBook Pro.

  You can try to start Firefox in Mode safe temporarily (hold down the option key while starting Firefox) and disable hardware acceleration (Preferences dialog box > advanced > general, uncheck the "Use hardware acceleration when available"), then exit Firefox and try to run normally.

  But if you can extract another thing: crash report IDs which will allow volunteers to see some of the crash reports you have submitted to Mozilla. Please check the last section of the support article "Firefox plant - troubleshoot and prevent assistance fixing crashes" for steps get these IDs crash and then after the most recent here.

• disable hardware acceleration set my image loading problem. is there another way to get around this?

  System details:
  OS: Windows 8.1 Professional (64-bit)
  Graphics card: PNY NVidia GT 610 (2 GB)
  RAM: 5 GB
  Firefox version: 36.0 (32-bit)

  Since yesterday, when the images would load on Web sites, some of them would be entirely black, or black for the most part, with only a piece of the images loaded, only to fully charge a few minutes later.

  Disabling hardware acceleration has solved this problem, but reduces the overall performance of firefox. Is there another way to work around this problem, not to mention that disabling hardware acceleration?

  Note: The only 2 things I have tried have been reset firefox and a new installation of firefox. I don't want to lose my data of the addon and the custom settings of firefox, because it takes too much time for me to put them back where they are now.

  I'm also pretty computer savvy, if you can get quite technical with me. If I don't understand something, I ask.

  
  

• Gray lines in the address bar, bookmarks and tabs bar. Disabling hardware acceleration solve but then vertical sync does not work in the browser. Solution?

  The drivers are up to date! ATI Radeon HD 5850.

  If there are problems with hardware acceleration off then try disabling OMTC and set this pref to false on the topic: config page.

  • topic: config page: layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled = false

• Thunderbird crashes at startup. Probably hardware acceleration with NVIDIA graphics

  Same fees new Thunderbird profile hangs at startup. Thunderbird starts ok in safe mode (new and all profile/s).

  Ideas, suggestions pls?

  Hi Matt,

  Thanks for your suggestion. Previously, I tried to downgrade the couple return versions (I forgot to mention in original post) occasionally TB started ok but most of the time it crashed...

  I found working solution in the meantime = > 64 TB http://www.mozilla64bit.com/index.php/thunderbird-64-bit-download

  Still don't know what could possibly cause this problem but hardware acceleration is certainly worth a try. Will try to disable the day I decide to go back to 32-bit.

  Solved...

• How to enable hardware acceleration in FireFox 31

  Please tell us how to enable hardware acceleration in FireFox 31. All of my graphics and other hardware/software is current and up to date. I also paired to my toolbar to bookmark up to 20 entries less.

  FireFox is so slow that a few tabs open cause the 'wheel of doom' suspension whenever I try to enter information or go to another part of the Web site. Sometimes, the breaks are 5 to 10 seconds, sometimes a minute or more.

  I don't have this problem on other browsers I use.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hey, what helped was reset Firefox functionality. I found the idea on this thread of Mozilla: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1003863

  Thank you for your answers!

• Text smeared/hazy - hardware acceleration on, page very slow/unresponsive in stop

  Other users have reported the same problem, but the solution does not work for me.

  The text is blurry/sale - only Facebook, probably because the page is big enough. If I disable hardware acceleration, so the text is blurred, but the page becomes almost insensitive - smooth roll is lost, in fact, there is no scroll at all - the page moves half on the screen at once (by scrolling), or sometimes doesn't scroll at all.

  My hardware isn't the newest thing out there but is not so bad either, I guess: AMD Phenom II X 4 945 (4 x 3 GHz) and Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 (1 GB). So, if Firefox is unable to use the graphics card, is not enough powerful processor to him correctly make a page like FB?

  Sorry, you can turn off is no longer azure by setting gfx.content.azure.enabled false.

  You can try the suggestion in comment 414 in bug 812695:
