Hi.

Trying VAAPI/X11 on Nightly 81.0a1/20200807213618, `intel_gpu_top`
confirms HW acceleration is active, but ***all videos appears constantly
green, for the whole duration of the video (not just for a moment or a
few frames)*** . Is there already a bug for it, or should I file one?

- `MOZ_X11_EGL=1`
- `media.ffmpeg.dmabuf-textures.enabled:true` , 
`media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled:true` , `media.ffvpx.enabled:false`
- enhanced-h264ify forcing H264
- Arch, latest linux / xorg / intel drivers. Problem reproducible with both 
i965 and iHD drivers.

If already answered, sorry for the noise. If not, please tell me what
debug info you'd like me to share in a new bug.

Title:
  Hardware-accelerated video decoding (VA-API) broken in Firefox 79
  (Wayland)

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Fix Released
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  After updating Firefox from 78 to 79, hardware-accelerated video
  decoding no longer works properly in Wayland: streaming video gets cut
  off with an error message from the service.

  == Steps to reproduce ==
  1. Follow the steps in [1] to enable VA-API.
  2. Open a Youtube/Twitch video (for instance https://www.twitch.tv/rifftrax), 
press play

  == What I expect to happen ==
  For the video be played without issues (as it did with Firefox 78).

  == What happens ==
  After playing for a while (anything from just a few seconds to a couple of 
minutes), the video stops and is replaced by a service-specific error message, 
such as error #3000 (in case of Twitch). Even when playing, the video also 
flickers green. After reloading the tab, the video again plays for a few 
seconds before the error message reappears.

  == Other info ==
  A fix is apparently already in the works upstream [2].
