Firefox Video Deselect Enable Hardware Acceleration is on by default. I think it should be off by default. It causes problems for the majority of users: HTML5
HTML5 video playback is choppy and corrupted in Firefox with it on. I had to spend several hours to find the problem. I then asked some friends and family that I had switch to firefox more than a year ago if tgey noticed choppy video. They all had. And they all went back to IE. I recently did an uninstall / reinstall of firefox due to a problem caused by "Blank your Monitor" addon. I had forgotten about the default "use hardware acceleration" that caused problems for me years ago. So I tried flash unin/reinstall & other things before unchecking that box. I probably won't forget next time, But I recommend your browser to others & doubt I'll remember to clue them in. So I think you lose users because of this & I lost several hours again.
Why is this "enabled" by default?

Firefox 'Use Hardware Acceleration when Available" is on (enabled) by default. Why? I think it should be off by default. It causes problems for the majority of users: HTML5

Why would you need that? My question is: Why is "use hardware acceleration when available checked / on by default? tools/options/advanced - use hardware acceleration when available (is checked by default) This causes problems for many users. Read my original comment.
hardware acceleration doesn't cause problems for the majority of users. this information is needed to find out more about your graphics hardware in order to troubleshoot the issue.
