Firefox Adds Vulkan Video Decoding Support
Mozilla has merged support for Vulkan video decoding into Firefox, enabling hardware-accelerated video playback on compatible GPUs. The feature leverages the Vulkan API to offload video decoding from the CPU to the GPU, improving performance and battery life. This update benefits users on Linux and Windows with Vulkan-capable hardware.

A welcome performance boost for Firefox users, though adoption depends on GPU driver support and content compatibility.
