Are you sure you’re using a build of Chromium with VAAPI support patched in? Support for hardware video decoding in Firefox on Linux does not exist at all, and Chromium does not support it either except in a set of patches which are not included upstream.

yes I am using chromium-vaapi thanks.

[edit] I am about to try Arch Linux (or Manjaro) with Xfce to get Chromium-vaapi working
