While importing the patches into Gecko-Dev git I noticed that mbo 531915 has been replaced by bmo 1729459: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1729459

I got further in building with PGO by applying some extra patches to fix building with GCC and PGO. The original bug mentioned in the spec is fixed now, however there's a new blocker now bmo#1796523.

The patches I applied are here: https://github.com/Thaodan/gecko-dev/commit/b6f9f3df2aebad09de85c1a01c3f1d593ae6aa9f https://github.com/Thaodan/gecko-dev/commit/5f8f269a8979fdb451be6b8c3832814725086290 https://github.com/Thaodan/gecko-dev/commit/f4d3916197e13c6d588c6167f28368a48371c012 https://github.com/Thaodan/gecko-dev/commit/62122dd50d7c2b1b8c74e9d4937c9df5ae257c08 https://github.com/Thaodan/gecko-dev/commit/96bd084dd75b22b843dd2ae95ccb46450379aec0

Can you please make Firefox to use the KDE filechooser again? The GTK filechooser is really clumsy and ugly. Thanks!

That is the plan. It requires some work and it was more important to get the security fixes out as quickly as possible.

Created a request to reenable KDE filechooser.

I've been trying to get someone to look at this bug forever, please help! https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1216842

Hi! Would it be possible to patch the package to not disable video hw decoding on all AMD hardware? I was a little bit surprised to see that video decoding wouldn't work for me and even more surprised when I learned that it is always disabled for release and "late" (?) beta versions (in addition to blacklisting certain problematic hardware/driver combinations). The corresponding code seems to live inside widget/gtk/GfxInfo.cpp. It works using Fedora packages, they are using this patch: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/firefox/blob/main/f/firefox-enable-vaapi.patch

Thank you for considering this!

can't play youtube or any other site, audio is not working only video playing in latest version

It's working here for me, and working OK in a Tumbleweed Live ISO in a VM. Might be something wrong with your PC I'm afraid mate.... But either way, this isn't really the right spot to report it, so you won't get much help here. If you're sure it's a bug with the package, use that link on your left that says "Report Bug", to file it on bugzilla, but likely, it's a problem with your PC, so you might do better to go to a tech support forum.
