They don't care about their core business and now Baker is talking about changing the internet do do "more" than deplatforming, dirtying Mozilla's name with political shit.

Mozilla lost its way after Brendan Eich was forced to resign as a CEO, all technologies that made Firefox better (Rust, Servo, e10s) were under Eich's direction. Now we have a lawyer leech destroying what's left of Mozilla.

Type "about:config" on the search bar. Search for "media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled" and "gfx.webrender.all", then set them both to "True". Close Firefox, then start it using the command "MOZ_X11_EGL=1 firefox". To make that permanent you can edit the launching command of the icon or menu entries in the desktop environment you use (Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc). If your GPU does not have acceleration for the VP9 codec, install the "h264fy" extension.
All this will reduce CPU usage, but will not turn it to zero. Here it dropped from ~30% to ~10% on a i7 3770k. And that is in both Firefox and Chrome with acceleration enabled.

For me it halves the CPU usage but it still horrendously ineffective. mpv uses 10% CPU to play the same video, while Firefox went down from 120% to like 60%.

It goes without saying however, that you cannot be the CEO of a business if you've lost the respect of your employees - and that is exactly what happened.

It is indeed less effective than dedicated video players. Out of curiosity, which one is your CPU, what are you using to measure CPU utilization and what DE you are using (Gnome, KDE, etc)?
Mesa 20.3.x,
Radeon RX 570,
Core i5 (6 cores, coffe lake),
32 GB RAM,
Used the terminal top command, for Firefox also included the "Web content" process that is spawnned by Firefox.
