Can anyone explain to me how I can get hardware acceleration to work in Firefox running on Debian? I have tried both default the packaged ESR and the the latest Firefox release directly form Mozilla.

All I ever get is “blocked by platform” in about:support and I have tried everything suggested in the Debian and Arch wiki. 🤷

Running Debian 12 / Bookworm, Xfce, using Intel HD Graphics 530 (I’m using an Intel Core i7-6820HQ).

Edit: Looks like I found the cause for my problems: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/474822

    And never mind, it is also not working in the Flatpak version. Just checked again…
