Hardware Acceleration (?) Not Working? (lemmy.ml)

I don't know what to do. I've tried searching through google and all the answers don't seem to work. When I use Firefox (this is librewolf but it's the same on Firefox), games like Tetr.io or Friday Night Funkin lag real bad but they're buttery smooth on Chrome or Chromium. I have an iGPU and a "Cedar" AMD GPU according to lspci. Someone please help me, I don't wanna use Chromium just to get good performance. Please tell me if I need to provide more information.

What’s your distro?

How is Firefox installed? Distro package or flatpak?

Fedora, but I had the same problem on Arch.

Currently I have it installed through Flatpak but I have the same problem with distro package.

Is media.ffmpeg.enabled set to true in about:config?

It’s also true that graphics performance of Firefox is just not as good as Chromium, even with hardware acceleration.

I have the same exact set up on my Thinkpad x240 and it's running smooth on Firefox so I dunno... I'm ripping my hair out over this tbh.

Yes.
