Description:
Firefox 97.0.2 worked fine using VA-API to decode videos. I updated to 98.0-1 and now I get this error when trying to play a video: ``` libva info: VA-API version 1.13.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_13 ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment. /usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids: Permission denied [Child 33384, MediaDecoderStateMachine #1] WARNING: Decoder=7f81e44d3000 Decode error: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_FATAL_ERR (0x806e0005) - auto mozilla::MediaChangeMonitor::CreateDecoderAndInit(mozilla::MediaRawData *)::(anonymous class)::operator()()::(anonymous class)::operator()(const mozilla::MediaResult &) const: Unable to initialize decoder: file /build/firefox/src/firefox-98.0/dom/media/MediaDecoderStateMachine.cpp:3568 ``` All my system is up to date.

@Mel It might make sense to mention that VAAPI broke in 98 and worked in 97.0.2
check out this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1757998
The permission warning for amdgpu.ids is probably unrelated, it pops up with other applications from time to time.

Works for me.
