Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

nvidia-vaapi-driver question for the System76 team
For anyone wondering, I got hardware acceleration working (NVIDIA 1660 Super: h264, vp8, vp9, don't know why I can't get HEVC support currently) using the nvidia-driver-545 using the steps from nvidia-vaapi-driver to build from source (version: 0.0.11)
- nvidia-vaapi-driver v0.0.11 released

Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron
I don't think it's your fault and I don't think you're using the wrong browser.
> I should be working out the dependency story and compiling some driver from Github myself.
no, nvidia _should_ make it easier for people using the 3rd most popular desktop OS to use their hardware. It would make them more competitive against AMD and Intel, which both support hardware video decoding.
That's probably not going to happen, so the next best option is to install a package from the package manager [0]. There might be some kind of compilation needed, but in my experience that's rarely an issue (aside from time), especially if it's coming out of the package manager for a popular distribution.
> It's just not a real option for maybe 99% of PC users.
well, 99% of PC users with Nvidia hardware. It's an important distinction since this problem is specific to Nvidia. If the solution is to installing a package from the package manager, it's only as difficult as installing the browser in the first place.
I do agree there's some extra questions that may make things difficult, or unfamiliar for the vast majority of people, though. Like how is someone supposed to know they need the nvidia-vaapi-driver package anyway?

Ubuntu is slower than windows and it is really hard to use hardware acceleration
to be honest, pop os solved most of my problems except the hardware acceleration problem which seems like an issue with Nvidia. I am planning to try this soon. https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver/ as mentioned in the comments

Harwdware decoding is broken with latest Nvidia proprietary drivers (v535)
RpmFusion only has v0.0.9 of nvidia-vaapi-driver although release v0.0.10 adds support for Nvidia drivers v535. https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver/releases/tag/v0.0.10

DEAR UBUNTU…
I do have one machine with the Firefox PPA rather than the snap, and that's because I've got an NVIDIA card in it and want to use an experimental library.

Video playback lagging in everything but VLC
Note that as an nvidia gpu owner you need to do some extra backflips to make firefox use hardware decoding such as installing a custom vaapi-to-nvdec translation driver: https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver

Friend: What do I need to know if I want to try Linux? Me:
General VDPAU vs VA-API video acceleration pains. Needing a community driver for imperfect VA-API support, that nvidia updates have broken multiple times.

Long running tab (kiosk), 100% CPU
Probably your best bet is to use the Firefox Profiler once it starts hogging the CPU to try to see what it's doing. I'd be happy to take a look at the result although I don't have a lot of experience at diagnosing performance problems; hopefully the profile will make it obvious what's going on.

Slow Firefox Startup

Definite tab bug affecting both Win/Linux intermittently
You can try to reproduce while taking a profile using the Firefox profiler, then share it in the #perf:mozilla.org room on Mozilla's Matrix instance.

Why does Firefox run slow
Run a profiling session for ~30 sec when you notice something is running slower than you expect, see https://profiler.firefox.com/. Share results here if you want help interpreting them.

Problems with Firefox non snap versions on Ubuntu 22.04?
Next time, send a SIGABRT to the main process (kill -6 $(pidof firefox)) and use the resulting backtrace (you will find a link to the crash report in about:crashes) to file a bug. A performance profile could be useful, but you'll need to know first what to capture. This seems like a graphics issue, so try the Graphics preset. Share a link to your report.

Dear Firefox, why are you so terrible at rendering Flutter web apps? It's like potato quality.
https://profiler.firefox.com will be useful if you can capture and share it to developers.
-
Webpages not loading or taking forever to load
If you can reproduce it in safe mode and a clean profile, capture a performance profile using the clean profile while trying to load a problematic webpage, don't remove any information from it, and share it here (although it's typically not easy for users to analyse them), or file a bug with it attached.

Firefox hangs on Facebook page
Next time, capture a performance profile using the Graphics preset, and kill the browser by entering kill -6 $(pidof firefox) in a shell. This will create a bug report (unless debian disables the crash reporter) that would indicate where Firefox is stuck at. You might need to use an official build to get useful results.
