Waterfox: tearing on linux even with force enabled layers acceleration

[davidbepo]

both firefox and waterfox have a tering issue in fullscreen videos:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/firefox#Tearing_video_in_fullscreen_mode
but in firefox if you force enable acceleration the issue is fixed
in waterfox it isnt

[davidbepo]

also sometimes fullscren only shows a liitle rectangle:

this issue is what prevents me from switching to waterfox :(

Intel GM45 GPU

Not reproducible with full screen views of https://vimeo.com/248072306 in Waterfox 56.0.1 on Kubuntu 17.10 on an Ergo Vista 621 with Intel GM45.

With and without the force, playback is tear-free.

Side note

At a glance, layers.acceleration.force-enabled causes this message to appear when Waterfox is started at the command line:

ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.

Adobe Flash Player there. Is hardware acceleration enabled in the player, or disabled?

[davidbepo]

the dailymotion option doesnt use flash and has the problem
