  1. Don't turn off hardware acceleration, it won't fix this problem.
  2. Enter about:support in the address bar and scroll down to the Media section. Check if your AV1 codec has hardware decoding.

I checked it does not have Hardware Decoding it says unsupported none of the codecs have it all say unsupported also initially the issue i said existed in vp9 1080p60 videos too i fixed it by disabling media.gpu.process.enabled and layers.gpu.process.enabled in about:config but unfortunately this only fixes vp9
