Does anyone know of a way to get Librewolf to support 1440p stream quality on twitch.tv? Some streamers that I watch recently started streaming in 1440p but the quality doesn’t show up for me. Perhaps the codec isn’t supported? I’ve seen some people recommend following the instructions here for Firefox pastebin.com/cBD4nBPa but I’m on Mac (and on firefox it shows the 1440p option without doing anything special).

I’ve just discovered www.gumlet.com/…/browser-capabilities-checker/ and it shows that both HEVC codecs are not supported by my instance of LibreWolf

I think HEVC is not supported by any version of firefox, because that codec has a garbage license and firefox can’t afford it
