Under https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver/#upstream-regressions you say: The EGL backend is broken on driver versions 525 or later due to a regression. Users running these drivers should use the direct backend instead.

In firefox config you say: gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled true Required, this driver requires that Firefox use the EGL backend. It may be enabled by default. It is recommended to test it with the MOZ_X11_EGL=1 environment variable before enabling it in the Firefox configuration.

Should one not set gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled to true?

Firefox still needs to use EGL to import frames, but this driver can't use it's EGL/EGLStreams backend to export frames. They are two separate uses of EGL.
