You're using the Snap version of Firefox, but have the driver installed outside of it, which it is unable to access.
I have this issue as well and can't figure out where the problem is. I am also using X11. There's a couple of links about this in various places:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1766517 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1947115 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1751363
There's a few more threads on Reddit. I'm searching for words like "snap firefox vaapi nvidia"
It's still not clear to me if this is a snap bug. Changing environment variables to point to the location of the nvidia_drv_video.so doesn't change the behavior. I'm not sure what to do about this.

Thanks for the reply! I uninstalled the Firefox that come with Ubuntu and manually installed from the tar.bz
downloaded from Firefox website. The problem is solved now.
The default Firefox on Ubuntu is a snap version anyway, include the one from apt
.
I'd recommend the ppa to get packages: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
Hi, I am using RTX 4090 with Ubuntu 23.04 and NVIDIA driver 530. I installed
nvidia-vaapi-driver
from master branch. I am using X11, direct back end, and everything is up-to-date.The output of
NVD_LOG=1 vainfo
looks normal.But I got this output from Firefox and the hardware decode is not working when watching Youtube (AV1 codec). CPU rate is high and no compute task shows in
nvidia-smi
.Can anyone helps?
