Thanks for the report! Your assumption about snaps is actually wrong, our firefox snap does indeed support graphics acceleration an ubuntu-asahi. We do this using a asahi-specific channel of the gnome-sdk snap with our mesa backported to core22. Here is what my firefox reports:
Of course I think we should make sure that the deb package also works properly for people preferring that option. I'm not entirely sure what causes your error yet, is the apparmor policy causing the error part of the deb package? Which ppa did you use, I am not aware of an "official" up-to-date firefox ppa? Mozilla has recently announced their own deb mirrors, their official builds might work better.
@Consistos are you using debs from the downstream "Mozilla Team" PPA?
If you want debs from upstream Mozilla, there is official Mozilla's packaging.
I installed Firefox via a PPA (as I understand snap does not use the system's Mesa (similar to flatpack), but the upstream one, which lacks the AGX driver), but Firefox fails to use hardware acceleration.
eglinfo -B
's output:WebGPU 1 & 2 drivers seems to fallback to llvmpipe despite using Mesa 3.2, seemingly due to the errors at the end: Firefox's graphic section:
I have the following error launching Firefox, which seems related:
glxinfo
confirms that KDE is accelerated.
