From: http://blog.mozilla.com/joe/2010/05/25/hardware-accelerating-firefox/

Joe: "To test this hardware acceleration, right-click on a video and select “Full Screen.” GPU accelerated full-screen video is turned on by default; you can check its status in your error console."

Me: "Check it how? I right-clicked a OGV video and viewed it in full screen, but didn’t see anything in the Error Console."

Joe: "If you don’t see something in your error console talking about the Layer Manager, you’re not using hardware accelerated layers. We print out information about the driver both for OpenGL and D3D9 when we go into fullscreen."

Me: "OK, I guess the next question is: why not? What can I do to help work out why full-screen video is not being hardware accelerated?"

Joe: "“Why don’t I see hardware acceleration” is sort of complex, but in almost all cases not getting hardware acceleration with full-screen video is a bug. Please file one (in the product Core, component Graphics), along with details about your computer."

So here I am. Not really sure what info to give, but here's a start. Let me know what else you want.

It does not work on Linux yet :). Sorry!

Verified, in the sense that I now see the Error Console message that I wasn't seeing when I filed this bug. I see this:

OpenGL LayerManager Initialized Succesfully.
Version: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 190.42
Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer: GeForce 6200/PCI/SSE2
FBO Texture Target: TEXTURE_2D

However, I get the message twice for going full screen. I also see another window appear briefly at a smaller size before the full screen video appears. Are these bugs?
