    Hello

    I been searching for a solution on how to eliminate screen tearing in firefox. i saw that people installed compton but thats on wheezy and ubuntu so im not sure how well this work on this, and i found a ton of guides how to fix this with ati and nvidia drivers, but non with stock intel haswell drivers.
    i found a guide to edit the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80defaultrelease to get testing releases but there is no such file in there.
    i also found to edit
    1. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

    3. Section "Device"
    4.    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
    5.    Driver      "intel"
    6.    Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
    7. EndSection
    Copy the Code
    i didnt have that file so i created it but it doesnt do anything either.

    can anybody help me? i like to watch tv streams on firefox but the screen tearing take that fun from that.

    kind regards

    -n

    I like firefox also, but it uses flash version 11.2 While google chrome or opera if chrome is installed will use the latest flash player.version 20.0

    but its not only with video playback also when scrolling, so i saw that with compton i can somehow activate vsync for firefox, but im not sure if that would work with this distro. thanks for the fast reply.

    btw. when i go into the plugin area on firefox it shows that its using Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0

    Hmm the standard flashplugin-nonfree is version 11.2 . There is also a freshplayer plugin that tries to use pepper flash but it does not work well on firefox any more.My favorite browser right now is Slimjet the most customizable chromium based browser.
