I think you mean:

LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia firefox

nope.

     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Acceleration_API
        "As of 2019, VA-API is natively supported by libva-vdpau-driver for cards supported by VDPAU"

libva-vdpau-driver is the translation layer that provides a VDPAU-based backend for VA-API.

@ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration#Configuring_VDPAU

     Configuring VDPAU
    You can override the driver for VDPAU by using the VDPAU_DRIVER environment variable.
     The correct driver name depends on your setup:
     ...
     For NVIDIA's proprietary version set it to nvidia.

     Note:
        You can find the installed drivers in /usr/lib/vdpau/. They are used as /usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_${VDPAU_DRIVER}.so

Have you actually been able to get this working with Firefox? I tried a while ago and failed. IIRC the predominant opinion online was that libva-vdpau-driver, which was not updated in almost a decade, was good for passing vainfo but not for much else.

Best regards.
