GPU Acceleration on Flash Player (FireFox)

Alibaladin · December 16, 2014

Anyone tried GPU Acceleration on Flash Player extension for firefox? Can't find it on their extension website but able to download the xpi. elsewhere. Anyone have any problem with it? It takes off 10% cpu load and gpu shoulder the flash player for me. But worries me that the developer is gone.

That extension is not supported anymore: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=2868167

What it basically does is to add

wmode="gpu"

to flash elements in the browser. Then it fixes some styles which break when this is enabled. I think it is safe to install, but be aware that for some people it causes instabilities.
