I am using the Nightly upstream version of Firefox on X11 with KDE (I 
tend not to use Wayland) and I can play videos from youtube and Netflix 
without any issues. I did have issues playing both youtube and Netflix 
videos a while ago that were being indicated as firefox not being able 
to play protected content, which was resolved by installing the Widevine 
addon, the H264 addon is being indicated as being installed by default. 
I also have the play DRM protected content in Firefox's general settings 
turned on as well.
At the time I was having the issues playing videos in Firefox I was 
finding that Google Chrome was able to play them without any issues.
I am also using the nvidia proprietary drivers from rpmfusion as I have 
an nvidia geforce rtx 3080 graphics card. I have never had any opengl 
errors from playing videos in firefox (I've always used the nightly 
version though), although I have also always used the nvidia rpmfusion 
drivers (I've also played around with using the Fedora specific nvidia 
drivers from Negativo) as I have always used nvidia graphics cards.

Steve
