Firefox Merges Support For Vulkan Video Decoding
Summary
Firefox will add Vulkan Video decoding support in version 153, scheduled for release in July. The new capability targets Linux users and improves GPU-accelerated video playback where VA-API support has been limited or inconsistent. The work also broadens support beyond NVIDIA-specific workarounds and helps smaller Arm and embedded graphics drivers benefit from a more cross-platform path. The change reflects ongoing development in the Firefox codebase and closes a bug report that had been open for three months.
