I've seen comments that, at least on Linux it might not use GPU acceleration by default?

If this is the case for you, hit up `about:config` and change `layers.acceleration.force-enabled` to true. This heavily reduced tearing for me.

That is a must-enable setting for sure, but not video related. That's compositing.

Firefox still does not support VAAPI or VDPAU :(
