You need to start Firefox with MOZ_DISABLE_RDD_SANDBOX=1 environment variable until bug 1751363 is fixed.

i heard disabling RDD sandbox is a bad thing security wise, i'm currently on wayland and firefox version 98.0.2 , when can i expect to vaapi to work like before 98 update without disabling sanbox .
