Are you by chance on a laptop? The gpu driver strings in your about:support
indicate that you have your integrated gpu active. The nvidia card isn't active so that is why you don't see hardware decoding. You can post the output of vainfo
here but it will likely tell you that you don't have your nvidia card active, but rather your integrated gpu active instead.

I was on a desktop with a Ryzen 3600X which I don't believe even has an iGPU. Life circumstances have meant I'm currently without that particular setup. I'll close it for now, but if I get in a similar situation at some point in the future I'll re-open. Cheers.
Since you're on ubuntu it may be that you're using the snap version of FF.. (it think it doesn't work with the snap version) and wayland.. it doesn't work well on wayland either but at least it should show up in nvidia-smi
