      So there’s a couple of sources, like the (rather outdated) Mozilla wiki page detailing the sandbox support on Linux.

      And I know it’s specifically the Chromium sandbox, since they vendor their copy of it.

      I also just checked the sandboxing status directly in Firefox.

      And I’m kinda of cheating, I knew they used it since I’ve got an unsupported configuration with HW video decoding. It’s caused by their sandbox blocking certain things, and it’s a known issue. Nvidia drivers don’t support VA-API, Firefox only supports VA-API. There’s an adapter library available, but it doesn’t work in Firefox unless you disable the sandbox.

      Edit: Oh yeah, Firefox is also affected by the same issue Chrome is, where Flatpak interferes in the sandbox.

        So, there is still the problem with the sandbox and the only way you have hw acceleration is to disable the sandbox, I bet it is elfarto VA API adapter library. And what about FF Android?

      Because you’re an adult who’s expected to know how to use a search engine. I used DDG and it took me about 40 seconds to find the source for the claim you’re asking a source for.
