--- Comment #25 from Barto (mister.freeman@xxxxxxxxxxx) ---
Someone has made a suggestion to me : go to "about:support" in firefox for
ckecking some options, I can read this :

HW_COMPOSITING  blocked by default: Acceleration blocked by platform

OPENGL_COMPOSITING      unavailable by default: Hardware compositing is
disabled

WEBRENDER       opt-in by default: WebRender is an opt-in feature
unavailable by runtime: Build doesn't include WebRender

and this guy told me to check if the property
"layers.acceleration.force-enabled" is set to true in firefox ( in
"about:config" section ),

I checked and it was set to false by default, so I set it to true and I
restarted firefox,

and now there is no lag in firefox for youtube video 1080p@60 fps with kernel
4.15rc8

but this advice seems to be a "cheat mode/workaround", it doesn't explain why
your commit triggers this problem with firefox 57 when
"layers.acceleration.force-enabled" option is disabled in firefox ( which is
the default value ),

with kernel 4.14.14 ( and when I revert your commit ) youtube video plays
without lags, even if "layers.acceleration.force-enabled" is disabled
