Since Bug 1839599 we build HW acceleration on X11 only builds too so let's remove the WAYLAND name from it.

Any chance of X11 hardware decode being enabled on builds of 115esr?
If you mean to enable HW decode on X11 only builds then you may look at Bug 1846677.
This one is only about build macro name change, doesn't do any functional change.

I think the problem is that I have been (still am?) misunderstanding Bug 1843425. I have been assuming that the fix there having not being applied to 115esr is the reason I don't have HW decode working when I run 115esr (Mozilla built binary) on my non-Wayland Linux box. Now I am thinking that a straight from Mozilla 115esr binary, run on a Linux box without Wayland, should have HW decode working under X11, and that Bug 1843425 and Bug 1846677 are about people compiling Firefox themselves on boxes without Wayland. Is my understanding correct?

HW video decode is available since Mozilla 115esr binaries or Mozilla 115.0 binaries on Intel only (Bug 1777430). If you want to enable on AMD you need to force-enable it, flip media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled to true at about:config and restart browser.

Yes, that correct. Before Bug 1843425 HW decoded needed build-in Wayland support although final binaries run on both Wayland and X11. AFAIK distros and Mozilla build binaries with Wayland support.

Thank you for the explanation, I finally understand now.
