Youtube on Firedragon only shows a green screen for videos / crashes

As the title of the topic says, youtube will crash the browser, or only play “green” in the videos. the audio can be heard, so must be related to hw acceleration to my best guess

sudo pacman -S firedragon

otherwise what is your output from

nvidia-smi

In another thread it was mentioned that it was caused by some config:
