Good evening,
I have a very strange issue with kernel 4.19.1 With this kernel Firefox
no longer plays any videos. It opens the page but the video wont play.
It gets even worse when I open another tab. This will freeze Firefox
though system load is ok. But I cannot kill Firefox, even logging off
and on will keep it running in the background. Only way to stop it is a
reboot and shutdown will take approx 10 to 15 mins for various stop
jobs running. just downgraded to Kernel 4.18.19 and things are fine.
I'm running Gnome on a Thinkpad X201.

Just another data point: (Might be related, might not...)
I'm seeing something similar with 4.19.1, though it doesn't completely
crash it just casues all GUI operations (even just switching windows) to
become *really* sluggish until I reboot the machine. At that point
firefox gets so slow that it's basically unusable -- this might be
experienced as it having hung on a slower machine. I am able to quit it
with regular Ctrl+Q though.
Downgrading to 4.18.19 seems to fix it for me.

Regards,
Archlinux stock kernel went from 4.18.16 to 4.19 , where did you get
4.18.19 ?
linux 4.19.2 is now in [testing] repo, you could try that.
