I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried searching through google and all the answers don’t seem to work. When I use Firefox (this is librewolf but it’s the same on Firefox), games like Tetr.io or Friday Night Funkin lag real bad but they’re buttery smooth on Chrome or Chromium. I have an iGPU and a “Cedar” AMD GPU according to lspci. Someone please help me, I don’t wanna use Chromium just to get good performance. Please tell me if I need to provide more information.

    Firefox Hardware video acceleration

    If hardware video acceleration is blocked with error code FEATURE_HARDWARE_VIDEO_DECODING_DISABLE or FEATURE_FAILURE_VIDEO_DECODING_TEST_FAILED in about:support, you can override it with media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled=true. See [10] for more information. Alternatively, you can install firefox-vaapiAUR.

    Also make sure that in about:support Compositing in the Features table under Graphics is set to WebRender if it is not than set gfx.webrender.all in about:config to true.

    I had the same issue but I have a NVIDIA gpu. but I just had to install libva-nvidia-driver and edit Kernel parameters and Environment Variables . I got this to work with both Firefox and Librewolf but only some video codecs.

    Firefox V137.0 Linux

        I sure you have but have you tried checking the out put of vainfo Arch wiki since Firefox only supports Hardware acceleration with VA-API.
