Would love if FF could support VA-API decoding + Wayland + GPU acceleration on Ubuntu by default, rather than having to follow a possibly outdated Arch linux guide to hack it into working at least some of the time.

I'm not using Ubuntu, but any recent version of Firefox supports VAAPI by default for quite some time already.

So may be check your version or check what Ubuntu is doing wrong / use something else.

What I want to see is VAAPI encoding used, not just decoding. Better even Vulkan video both for decoding and encoding.
