Readme

Extensions

I have decided to add here a list of the Firefox's extensions I am using

Extra

You may want to disable Google's VP8 & VP9 video codecs: "MSE & WebM VP9" and "WebM VP8" as there is no hardware decoding for them. To do this, install h264ify extension from

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/h264ify/

Check the codecs

To initialize the new Firefox profile

docker-compose run --rm firefox -P

Limitations

X11 and PulseAudio

The user ID must match the ID of a user that runs the container, otherwise X neither audio will work.
