I’ve been using this regularly on arch linux and found out the hard way that the profile included for Firefox disabled hardware acceleration. To get it re-enabled I ended up creating a custom profile that extended from the main Firefox profile. Overall I’m impressed with the level of granularity. I haven’t bothered to look more into why that profile had hardware acceleration disabled. I guess as a way to protect from crypto mining exploits using your gpu.
