Hello,

I am using the Flatpak Version of Firefox on Manjaro Linux. I have hardware accelerated video playback on Youtube for VP9 but not for H.264 on YouTube and Twitch. I can verify that with intel_gpu_top. My hardware should be capable to do hardware decode. You can see in the provided screenshots, that it should work from the configuration standpoint. Do I missing something here or is this maybe a bug? I can provide any further information if needed.

Your ffmpeg runtime version looks too old (21.08), it needs to match the firefox runtime version. 

flatpak info org.mozilla.firefox
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full
