Flash player on facebook

Hi,

flash player (firefox 44 and previous too, Vista) on ALL youtube videos, even at 4K:

simply perfect. CPU 1-2% in full screen mode!

(therefore I guess that my GPU and driver and OS are ok)

flash player (firefox with MP4 key on False, Vista) on ALL facebook videos, at 360p: stuttering and CPU 30-50% even in small window.

why this big difference in performance and in hw acceleration usage?

there is something to do (from myside or from yours) to get FB videos (via flash player!!) working fine as youtube videos are doing?

thanks. Best regards,

    why with flash player I see 1% CPU at 4K on youtube videos, while in all other videos (not youtube) I see 30% cpu with a lot of dropped frames and stuttering? thanks.

    The most likely reason is that the other content providers are not using our recommended StageVideo technology which allows Flash Player to offload the work from the CPU to the GPU.  I recommend passing along the blog post below to the sites that are using high CPU so that they can make some simple changes on their side to switch to a more modern technology.
