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
Thanks or the suggestion. The Flatpak is indeed doing just fine but it’s not an option for a number of reasons, such as the Flatpak version not working with certain addons (KeePassXC-Browser cannot connect to KeePassXC).

Generally https://is.gd/EIhcEl gave me some answers.
@CryptGoat I see. Hopefully this will get ironed out soon.
