Do flatpaks have h264 hw acceleration
No, it is definitely using hardware acceleration on a number of platforms: https://github.com/cisco/openh264/tree/master/codec/encoder/core and https://github.com/cisco/openh264/tree/master/codec/decoder/core. However, the docs say it will fallback to C/C++. But I don't believe that's happening on popular platforms like x86, ARM, and Aarch64.

TikTok girl‘s hot dancing.
I found the extension but haven't been able to get it to work yet. It needs openh264 installed and I haven't been able to figure out where to put the binary for it yet, but if you figure it out let me know! Lol :D

firefox cant play h264 or 5 five videos
If you had the media.gmp.decoder.enabled pref flipped to true, I might have guessed that Firefox updated the OpenH264 plugin and downgraded it. You could try replacing the library from one at https://github.com/cisco/openh264/releases/tag/v2.3.1. Go to about:support, open your profile directory, and find the gmp-gmpopenh264/1.8.1.2 folder. Replace the binary with the one from the linked github page. Restart Firefox.

Shouldn't the free version of Resolve on Linux support mp4 natively?
Now that CISCO has released an Open Source H.264 Codec available on all major platforms what excuses does Blackmagic Design have left?

Uncommon and huge resolutions in h264
Outside of the hardware implementations, the other popular H.264 encoders are MainConcept (which I think Adobe licenses). There are a few others https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Video_Coding#Software_encoders. Cisco's OpenH264 is free, but last time I checked was limited in profile support. The repo claims "Max frame size is 36864 macro-blocks".
