[Middle Click] via 3-finger-tap is having me open inadvertently closed Firefox tab again when trying to PIN it via [Right Click] (for context menu (so much for context🙄)) via 2-finger-tap .
- Curses HP #EliteBook640G11 with only 2 mouse buttons! A external 3-button mouse would be an improvement this time.
On that note am still getting familiar with the keyboard layout with square & relatively taller (x-y plane) keys than on #LogitechK845 keyboard or on #ThinkPadX260.
...
+ #GoodThing about HP #EliteBook640G11 is that I have swapped [Ctrl_L] key at the end with [Fn] key besides it via BIOS option
BIOS Menu: Advanced: System Options: Swap Fn and Ctrl keys;
- #BadThing is #Microsoft_corp [copilot] key remains useless, in #Windows11, for being unable to use as [Ctrl_R] key.

?/- 2 Youtube videos -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKJciQaCbX8 & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVjcPAdU028 -- had glitchy, green, large portion broken up in many small shapes in #Firefox (audio has not been affected). In the first case, other videos were not affected though. Different encodings?
Looks like need to test power & other knobs when playing video.
MS Edge is okay!
HP does mention "Hardware acceleration for CODEC H.265/HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) is disabled" https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-elitebook-640-g11-notebook-pc-customizable-901d0av-mb#techSpecs .
... Seemed for #Firefox v133 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKJciQaCbX8 video played without issues, but not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVjcPAdU028 .
Tried all 3 ways -- (non)MSIX package via "winget" & via Firefox's own installer -- to install ESR 128.5 version, without improvement.
On seemingly unrelated issue of delayed playing, found https://www.elevenforum.com/t/youtube-issue-or-browser.31662/#post-540480 to …
- not "Use recommended performance settings"
- but "Use hardware acceleration when available" instead
… seemed to have resolved for the ESR version.
... Also, after installing #Firefox ESR v128 (from firefox installer) in a different location than previously installed v133, binary from v133 stopped working.
I was thinking to have multiple versions installed to easily test. But that was not to be😞
... #Firefox showed this in the glitched version when reopened in a new tab; setting the "hardware acceleration" did not have any effect ...

... so were the two previously mentioned videos. :-/
In #MSWindows11, via
"Settings: System: Display: Graphics: Custom settings for applications: Add an app: Add desktop app", added "firefox.exe" path; then set "GPU preference" to "High Performance ...".
Firefox being put in "Efficiency mode" brings back the glitchy playback.
... Main issue seems to be #Firefox being put in "#EfficiencyMode" re-enables the glitchy video.
