HW acceleration on Firefox in Distrobox

Is there a way to enable hardware acceleration in Firefox? Videos are extremely choppy without it. It's in a fedora container and I have an Nvidia GPU. I've enabled hardware acceleration in the Firefox config, as well as downloading the needed codecs from rpmfusion. In about:support, it looks like hw acceleration is definitely not working.

I assume it's just nvidia weirdness. HW accel is working on my ally x with the same setup

Won't work when they are not using the flatpak, they have to retrofit it to work with the flatpak I think Idk if any extra dependencies are needed inside the distrobox either
