[Bug 1947115] Re: VAAPI / HW-acceleration not working Snap-packaged Firefox

[Olivier Tilloy]

I can confirm that this doesn't work out of the box.

When running the firefox snap with MOZ_LOG="PlatformDecoderModule:5", I
can see that libva tries to load drivers from $SNAP/gnome-
platform/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/, where it can't find any such
driver. This is bug #1947180, for which I've proposed a fix in
snapcraft.

Once that is fixed, the next step is to ship said VA-API drivers, either
in the firefox snap itself, or in the platform snap (gnome-3-38-2004).
