Could be wrong, but it's not about working but rather that it is now enabled by default.
Which may haven't been the case, I suppose?

I'd rather have software decode of h.264 on par with Chromium. As it is I can't watch Twitch on my laptop in Firefox.
-
Isn't that just because Twitch doesn't allow you to browse it using Firefox though?

What about Intel? I’ve been trying to get hardware acceleration on Firefox all day yesterday with no luck.
-
It's been working fine since a couple years ago on Intel. It works on my Intel machines with both old and recent cpus

Who on linux is playing videos in the browser??
-
Anyone who uses YouTube et al. or any number of non-DRM (Widevine) streams?
-
mpv, yt-dlp or FREETUBE, although yt-dlp now works better with cookie export from a browser. mpv is life.

I could have sworn they did this already a while back.
I still can't play my videos on Firefox without transcoding them, so I honestly hope they get it right this time.
They don't have mkv support by the way, that won't ever work in Firefox. Are you sure you're not trying to play mkv files?
