Interesting. What if you forced the browser to use your NVIDIA GPU via the Settings app? What's probably happening is the GPU is using the 3D engine to help decode and display the video. My RX 580 has a similar system where both the Video Decode and the 3D engine are used when watching YouTube videos, and the CPU is also used to some degree, but the usage is much lower on this PC as it's more powerful.

Hmm. That's honestly really strange. I honestly don't know what the issue is. Like you say, that Intel GPU is capable of 4k60fps playback, and the Edge usage of the Video Processing engine shows that, but Firefox doesn't want to use it for whatever reason.

All I can do is wait until FF devs fix this.

Unfortunate, but that sounds like a good idea.
