The report was prepared by Martin Stransky, a firefox magician in Fedora and Rhel, which is engaged in Firefox portaining for Wayland. It is noted that in Firefox it was possible to successfully involve hardware acceleration of graphics in the environment of X11 and Wayland when using the proprietary driver of the NVIDIA driver from the repository nvidia-vaapi-driver , which is also located in the RPM Fusion repository. For work, a clear inclusion of VA-API support is required through the Media.ffMpeg.vaapi.enabled parameter in ABOUT: Config and setting the environment “NVD_Backend” and “Moz_disable_rdd_sandbox = 1” Before launching the browser to disconnect the abduction process, which is still observed in which there are so far been observed, in which are still observed in Unresolved problems with an appeal to VA-API from Sandbox-a. It is noted that the productivity of hardware acceleration when using NVIDIA is not inferior to configurations with GPU AMD and Intel.
