Add Firefox Support for RTX Video Super Resolution

[navek]

Please, work with nVidia to add support for RTX Video Super Resolution in Firefox. Nearly 80% of internet bandwidth today is streaming video, and 90% of that content streams at 1080p or lower. Many of us use displays with resolutions higher than 1080p, and Firefox uses basic upscaling techniques, which result in final images that are soft or blurry. PC users also sit close to their screens, which makes the quality of upscaling even more noticeable, and is a good argument for a higher level of processing and refinement.

I prefer to use Firefox for everything I do, but I now feel torn because the difference is so noticeable, and I stream a great deal of video. Again, please, reach out to nVidia and work with them to implement support for RTX VSR. It really makes a difference, and would eliminate any inclination I might have to use a different browser for streaming video.

Add nvidia support for RTX video Super Resolution

Its been years since this feature was implamented on other browsers and its now time for firefox to fully adapt to this trend

This can truely be competitive to other browsers that support this feature

I've recently upgraded to Windows 11, and this has somewhat fixed the mixed refresh rate issue. VSR and VSR+HDR now work, although frame pacing is bad on the 60 Hz monitor if VSR has kicked in.

However, as of today, the feature has completely stopped working after I updated to Firefox 134.0 — is anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: I've found that this seems to be specific to YouTube. VSR will work on YouTube *only* if you go full-screen. The instant you scroll down and even one pixel below the full-screen player becomes visible, VSR breaks.
