Hi @Vic, Thank you for the continued support.

Are there any updates regarding this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hey @Ekko

I’m sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

After analyzing the logs, we found that on Firefox, the loadedmetadata event was not triggered as expected. This may be related to the browser itself or system GPU memory load, and restarting the browser might resolve the issue.

Thanks
