It's specific to Firefox playing the video.
Does Firefox use GPU hardware video decoding (look for
"HARDWARE_VIDEO_DECODING" on the about:support page)? I'm not sure
if mplayer does hardware video decoding, ffmpeg requires specific
options to enable it. You also need the relevent drivers installed.
Hardware will also only support certain codecs, so it's possible
that only Firefox is using it, with a video format used by YouTube.
yes, that's what I thought might be possible
