I think a big problem is, that ff (at least up to v56) doesn't use OpenGL compositing by default (you can force it via about:config; gives some speed-ups and gets rig of tearing in fullscreen videos) and thus they'd need to copy decoded frames from vram to ram and back again, loosing most of the perf benefit. On top of that they'd have to support multiple api's to make it work on all gpu's. Vaapi for intel, vdpau or nvdec/cuda for nvida and vdpau or eventually vaapi for amd. Vaapi on amd still isn't really usable, because it lacks the proper OpenGL interop, which will probably come with libva 2.1.
