I can't see what benefit you expect to get from the GPU. It is plenty fast with all-CPU rendering.
The Qubes X model is interesting: each VM runs its own X, and renders windows into memory shared with a central VM that copies the pixels to real video memory. Input events get forwarded to a VM's X according to which is the active window frame. The camera can be attached temporarily to a VM, and mike input similarly. So, no VM has physical access to hardware anytime other than when you want it to.
I am hoping a future Qubes will have proxying Vulkan stubs or something, for controlled access to a GPU. But it isn't missed much since FF stopped crashing.
I use mpv when I am serious, moving FF entirely out of the picture.

Besides even at 1080p the difference in how much battery it saves is astounding. With acceleration your CPU is just idling while without it has to work quite hard.
There are open bugs I know. Some of which that are getting attention, others we haven't gotten a chance to prioritize. Is there a bug filed about your particular problem?
According to this : https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/WebRender_Where that is not true. Or is it out of date?

Edit: Actually this is a little incomplete. It is still turned off with XWayland in late beta and release. So unless the MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 environment variable is set, you won't get WebRender by default. I will need to review why we didn't ship with XWayland yet -- there were a couple of bugs (e.g. bug 1635186) but I don't know the status of them offhand. Expect to see movement here within the next few releases I would say.
I'm glad to hear that. One of my computers is actually using Wayland with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, but I haven't actually checked if it worked yet.
Or are you on Wayland?
