--- Comment #4 from John <[email protected]> ---
I just tried the latest nightly build of Firefox (155.0a1) and force enabled
the HDR support through about:config page.
It crashes, a lot. I couldn't watch anything, which is weird as a month or two
ago, it was working.
Tested on Debian 14 with Plasma 6.7.2 (Wayland) on a UHD 620 iGPU, without a
HDR capable screen.

I've sent a few messages in that window that appears after crashing and I found
a bug report that looks to me to be related to that:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2057813
It looks to me that they are still working on it.
I see that they also have this pretty old one asking to support PQ and HLG
transfer functions for WebRender, which hasn't moved even a bit:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1765362
And similar for WebGPU:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2024870
And here the last bug report about HLG on their bug tracker, comparing how HDR
videos look in Firefox and Chrome with comment number 10 being interesting:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2028502

For me, as a high quality movie  watcher (4K + HDR in 10-bit AV1 or HEVC) and
sometimes game player, the most important thing is the quality and accuracy
with how the creators intended, so please do what you can, when you can, as
long as the best quality is retained or at least it's configurable, like it is
now with the "Color accuracy" in "Display configuration".

BTW, it would be nice if we had a table in some documentation page with the
last Kwin capabilities, like what bit depths and what HDR standards it can
support. Besides curiosity, it could help to write better bug reports for
Firefox, Haruna, MPV, VLC, Kodi, etc. and avoid asking AI tools about what it
supports, like I unfortunately just did after seeing the first Firefox bug
report.
