--[002] Runtime Dependencies ---------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Firefox needs a few additional things to be fully functional. One is an icon
|
||
|
|
theme and the other is a font. If you have already installed the fonts and
|
||
|
|
icon theme of your choosing, this step can be skipped.

--[003] Privacy Package --------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Provided is also an optional privacy package which makes Firefox perform zero
|
||
|
|
unsolicited network requests. More information can be found in the
|
||
|
|
documentation (@/firefox-privacy) Expect some website breakage when using this
|
||
|
|
privacy package YMMV.

[004] Setup

|
________________________________________________________________________________
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of Firefox 91. There is no need to set special environment variables to
|
||
|
|
enable Wayland support (in a Wayland only environment like ours). The browser
|
||
|
|
should start with no further configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--[005] Enable VAAPI Acceleration ----------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of Firefox 102, only the following modification to about:config should be
|
||
|
|
required, with no need to disable any sandbox features.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
|
| |
|
||
|
|
| about:config |
|
||
|
|
| |
|
||
|
|
| media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled=true |
|
||
|
|
| |
|
||
|
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If using AMDGPU, the following kernel option must be enabled. [1]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
|
| |
|
||
|
|
| .config |
|
||
|
|
| |
|
||
|
|
| CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y |
|
||
|
|
| |
|
||
|
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may also need to set the following environment variable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
|
| |
|
||
|
|
| .profile |
|
||
|
|
| |
|
||
|
|
| export MOZ_WAYLAND_DRM_DEVICE=/dev/dri/renderD128 |
|
||
|
|
| |
|
||
|
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To verify that VAAPI is working, launch Firefox with the following argument and
|
||
|
|
attempt to watch a video. Pay attention for errors in the output.
