EPTLook at ANY 60fps streams on http://www.hitbox.tv and see how amazing it looks, its also running on a flash player. So whats the issue with Twitch? Watching a 60fps stream is 10x more nicer to your eyes.
Twitch cant handle 60fps anymore?

Resolution and bitrate only leads to a certain image quality. The motion of the scene should be rendered at 60fps whatever bitrate and resolution you have as long as 60fps is getting sent to the stream. You can do a local recording and see its amazingly smooth, but as soon as you play through the Twitch player its bad. Its not flash either as hitbox.tv is using flash as well, not an issue there. | ||

Indeed, i just avoid Firefox for watching videos now. Google chrome html5 player for youtube is butter smooth by comparison and default flash player there doesn't seem terrible. Since i get MASSIVE issues with video fludity using firefox+flash on both Twitch and Youtube, i didn't even bother checking dailymotion (it's not a twitch specific issue, but happens on at least several of the largest video providers) 1/8'th second pauses like 50 times a minute have no place in 30fps video, hell 30fps video is annoying enough when it's an enforced upper limit | ||

 For Firefox itself, something that might be interesting is enabling "off main thread compositing" to make its graphics rendering less choppy when it's working on stuff in the background. That's an experimental feature and one of the first results of the work done to get multi-threading at some point in the future. To switch it on, at least on Firefox 29 (which you can update to today through Help menu -> About), you open about:config and search for this setting: layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled Switch it over to "true". If it starts crashing a lot, you'll have to switch it back. | ||

layers.acceleration.force-enabled layers.offmainthreadcomposition.async-animations layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled layers.offmainthreadcomposition.testing.enabled There's definitely bugs here and there when enabling all of that. The right-click menu in about:config doesn't work right for example. EDIT: and things still don't run great so don't expect much | ||

It's unpleasant enough going from watching vids at 60fps (or even 120/144 in my case) on desktop butter smooth, to 30fps, even if it works perfectly, it's hardly suited for high motion or very fast stuff (FPS, osu etc) | ||
