Hello,
I have problem on Youtube, when I play videos in 60FPS. I have Core i7 6700HQ and playing these videos drains my CPU on 60-70% . In Opera, Chrome or Firefox is normal CPU usage (10-15%) .
Non 60FPS videos works in Palemoon with normal CPU usage, but 60FPS not.
Thank you in advance.

Picked a video with 60fps available. No issue.

You don't have hardware acceleration in Pale Moon.
AzureCanvasBackend: skia
AzureContentBackend: cairo
AzureFallbackCanvasBackend: cairo
AzureSkiaAccelerated: 0
But you do in Firefox:
AzureCanvasAccelerated: 0
AzureCanvasBackend: direct2d 1.1
AzureContentBackend: direct2d 1.1
AzureFallbackCanvasBackend: skia
That is your (and only) reason that the CPU usage is high, because it will use the CPU to decode the video in this case.

Oh dear, it did Forcing layers acceleration in Palemoon Commander addon. It really speeds up my Palemoon, but maybe disabling GPU in CPU. So I uncheck this and 60FPS videos on Youtube now OK.

Bad news, looks like for the Pentium N3700, which is Braswell, it don't work and acts like I'm on a Vista-era beater!
The only thing that's better was with VLC! But VLC fails at jumping to a different stream location, the video keeps freezing indefinitely...
