layers.acceleration.force-enabled overrides "Acceleration blocked by platform" (you should see "Force-enabled by pref" right under it).
But this indeed has nothing to do with video! This is layer compositing.
- pjmlp 8y agoSure it does, because it is part of the GPU hardware acceleration stack. https://askubuntu.com/questions/491750/force-enable-hardware-acceleration-in-firefox https://askubuntu.com/questions/491750/force-enable-hardware... On my case for the EEPC 1215B Brazos APU it worked, like everything in Linux there isn't a solution that makes all desktop users happy.
- floatboth 8y agoGPU hardware acceleration has nothing to do with video decode. (Okay, the hardware is often on the same physical silicon die, but they're separate things in software.) There is literally no support yet for any unix video decode APIs in Firefox. No VA-API, no VDPAU, no V4L2, no nothing. Here's the bug for VAAPI: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1210727 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1210727 There's a bounty for it: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/55506502-add-va-api-hardware-decoding-support-on-linux https://www.bountysource.com/issues/55506502-add-va-api-hard...
