I have packages for Nvidia VAAPI and EGL in my system. When I manually turned it on a few months ago, the acceleration in Firefox was working. With new Nvidia drivers or whatever it broke.
I tried the 550, 560 and 565 drivers. Still the same on Xorg or Wayland. Tested with Snap and FLATPAK(ffmpeg + vaapi installed) Firefox. NVD_LOG=1 firefox libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen or similar error on X11 with EGL. eglinfo -B -p wayland Wayland platform: EGL API version: 1.5 EGL vendor string: NVIDIA EGL version string: 1.5 EGL client APIs: OpenGL_ES OpenGL OpenGL core profile vendor: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL core profile renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 OpenGL core profile version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 565.57.01 OpenGL core profile shading language version: 4.60 NVIDIA OpenGL compatibility profile vendor: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL compatibility profile renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 OpenGL compatibility profile version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 565.57.01 OpenGL compatibility profile shading language version: 4.60 NVIDIA OpenGL ES profile vendor: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL ES profile renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 OpenGL ES profile version: OpenGL ES 3.2 NVIDIA 565.57.01 OpenGL ES profile shading language version: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20 similar problem https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/hardware-egl-not-working-on-wayland-libegl-warning-egl-failed-to-create-dri2-screen/262167/4 I think that you have known this problem for a long time and you have no choice but to wait for the upstream to release a new things about Nvidia? Wayland?

We will close this bug when most browsers will have Va-api decoding working OOTB without user interaction like in WinOS and MacOS January 2024: - Quickest answer : Install firefox Flatpak https://flathub.org/fr/apps/org.mozilla.firefox activate VAAPI with the flag media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled=true - Snap : Test in Progress - deb from mozilla : not tested. August 2022 : * Ubuntu 22.04 : Launch firefox snap on Intel Tiger lake -> Check with intel_gpu_top that no codec are GPU decoded ( either VP9 , H264 or AV1 ) -> change media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled to true = VP9 and H264 decoding works -> AV1 hwdec does not work in Firefox or VLC , but does with MPV . We need to fix this as most youtube is AV1 now. * In july 2020, things are getting better : - Chromium : A patch is used on most distro packages. , more info here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium- browser/+bug/1816497 - Firefox : Firefox team has done a great job and now Va-api decoding in Wayland is possible and X11 is possible in nightly ! Follow it here : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1210727 * In 2015 I opened this bug , no easy solution was available and battery drained when playing video in browser was crazy.
