[Bug]: High refreshrate disabled while browsing. Bug merged from Nightly to Beta.

[BitGrub]

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce:

1. Have a high-refresh rate phone (>60Hz)
2. Download and install a fresh instance of Firefox Beta or Nightly (stable isn't affected yet)
3. Visit a website. Any website. The settings pages are unrestricted, but as soon as you browse the web, the browser is locked to 60fps.

Expected behaviour

This bug was present in Nightly for at least half a year (I noticed it as soon as I got my phone in mid-late July). I was forced to move to Firefox Beta as soon add-on support was added (late October), where I could browse at 120fps until very recently. I don't know which update broke it, but it happened about a week ago. The Nightly bug went unaddressed and has now been merged to the Beta branch.

I would like to use my 120Hz screen please.

Actual behaviour

As mentioned in the steps to reproduce, the 60 fps limit is only forced when browsing the web. Firefox settings pages are allowed to run at a full 120, so it's definitely a bug with the engine and not with my phone's settings.

Maybe try using Nightly or Beta? It's pretty clear In the post..maybe your phone issue🙄

[revolutionaryking7]

I am using nightly only from beginning..never used stable one except to test some issues.

Then it could be some other firefox bug that only affects some phones including Pixel and Nothing. Or maybe there's a flag you changed in about:config 🤷

Could also be an issue with adaptive refresh rate which Firefox hasn't configured correctly, and which cant be forced to high on my phone

[revolutionaryking7]

No flag changed for refresh rate ..in fact there is none bro 😅
I have set my refresh rate to adaptive in the phone settings and it always uses 120hz except for few inbuilt app
My phone is poco f4

You do know bugs aren't intentional right? Of course it SHOULD work, and your flags SHOULDN'T affect frame rate, yet here we are bro
