Subject: [PATCH] firefox-fourier: ship RK3399 HW-decode default prefs (closes
 #8)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three prefs that gate the patched VAAPI / V4L2-request code path are
'false' upstream and need to be 'true' for the libva-v4l2-request
backend to actually engage on RK3399 / panfrost EGL:

  widget.dmabuf.force-enabled
  media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled
  media.ffvpx-hw.enabled

Without them, Gecko's DMA-BUF probe silently fails (panfrost EGL
doesn't trip the right detection), the (Intel-tuned) HW-vs-SW cost
heuristic picks SW, and the FFvpx PDM never selects its HW-capable
variant for VP8/VP9. Net result: fresh profiles SW-decode despite the
0001..0004 unlock patches being applied.

Shipped as a vendor-default file at:
  /usr/lib/firefox-fourier/browser/defaults/preferences/rockchip-fourier-defaults.js

Lower precedence than user.js / about:config — power users debugging
HW decode can still flip them off without touching the package.

pkgrel 1 -> 2.

Closes: #8
