Firefox has enabled hardware acceleration in GNOME Shell by default as of versions 84 (X11) and 85 (Wayland), if you are using AMD or Intel graphics.[2] The feature is enabled in KDE Plasma and XFCE by default (X11 only) as of version 88, also for AMD and Intel graphics.[2] [1] https://mastransky.wordpress.com/2021/01/10/firefox-were-finally-getting-hw-acceleration-on-linux/ https://mastransky.wordpress.com/2021/01/10/firefox-were-fin...

I believe you are referring to hardware acceleration for stuff other than video (which I guess is what WebRender is about). I have no problems with this, and indeed WebRender is enabled by default in my installation of Firefox 93, GNOME, Wayland, Intel graphics. Re-reading my post I realise I didn't specifically say hardware video acceleration -- this is where applications like Firefox does video decoding etc in the GPU instead of in software. This is not enabled by default on Linux yet.
