Streaming Google Chrome / Firefox

Solved

Hello,
currently, I'm constantly juggling between my two browsers:
Google Chrome and Firefox.

Indeed, some streaming videos play perfectly on Google Chrome but not on others, and vice versa with Firefox.

Is there a way to watch all videos from all sites on a single browser?
If so, how?

    Hello,
    Could you send a link for which reading via Firefox does not work?

    So for Firefox, videos "work" but the image is pixelated with white squares or alternates with green images... I don't have an example to show because it’s almost all videos except YOUTUBE and DAILYMOTION.
    For Google Chrome, for example:
    https://www.om.fr/fr/video/4808/le-club/7672-om-preview-8
    where the video is supposed to be, it's all black... Under Firefox, however, it works.

    I tested it with both browsers and I'm not having any issues with either one: https://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1509138425.png

    If you have any extensions, disable them and see if it works. If it works, enable them one by one to see which one might be causing the problem.

    here's what it's doing to me.
    I disabled all my plugins and reactivated them one by one... but the problem persists on Firefox.
    forced to go back to Google Chrome

    Has the problem disappeared in Google Chrome?

    For Firefox, make sure your browser is up to date, that you have the latest version of Flash Player, and that your graphics card driver is also up to date. If everything is up to date, try disabling hardware acceleration: https://assiste.com/Firefox_Desactiver_l_acceleration_graphique_materielle.html

    - The problem has disappeared with Google Chrome
    - The browser is up to date and I have the latest version of Flash Player
    - Unable to find the "advanced" mode to disable hardware acceleration

      If you have version 56 of Firefox:
      Options > General > Performance (to uncheck) > Use hardware acceleration when available (to uncheck).

      What about your graphics driver?

    - I have version 56 of Firefox
    - I unchecked "Performance" to display "Use hardware acceleration when available" and unchecked it.
    Result => problem partly solved... because now the video lags slightly I find. Whereas on Google Chrome, it is perfectly smooth.

    Otherwise, here are some screenshots that might help you.

    However, with GOOGLE CHROME, it's impossible to watch the videos on this site:
    https://www.om.net/videos/338610/objectif-match-s06e14-om-guingamp
    it's a black screen.
    I have to switch to Mozilla Firefox

      Reset the browser.
      If that doesn't work, disable all your extensions and try watching the video again. If the video plays, reactivate each extension one by one to identify which one is blocking the video.
