[SOLVED] Firefox hardware acceleration on hybrid AMD / Nvidia laptop

Hi,

On my Asus UM5606, Firefox randomly makes the iGpu reset when hardware acceleration is enabled. The problem seems to go away when hardware acceleration is disabled making Firefox useless at playing videos. This bug wasn't there a few versions ago, however i cannot rollback as i loose saved bookmarks.

Is there a workaround ?

thanks

What do you mean by "iGpu reset"?

I mean that from dmesg :

Could be the same as https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12528

Reportedly that issue was fixed in kernel 6.15-rc7. Can you test linux-mainline?
