Meta bug for tracking issues related to the display of codec support information on about:support

Alias: about-codec-support
Depends on: 1859368
Depends on: 1898742
Depends on: 1847056

about:support codec support information appears entirely random (Windows 11, AMD RX570 with latest GPU drivers)
The table values seemingly randomize on each start of firefox (no changes, just close and open firefox). I have had instances where almost everything is supported, nearly nothing is supported, etc.

EG:

Codec Name Software Decoding Hardware Decoding
H264 Supported Supported
VP9 Unsupported Supported
VP8 Unsupported Supported
AV1 Unsupported Supported
HEVC Unsupported Unsupported
AAC Unsupported Unsupported
MP3 Unsupported Unsupported
Opus Unsupported Unsupported
Vorbis Unsupported Unsupported
FLAC Unsupported Unsupported
Wave Unsupported Unsupported

eg:

Codec Name Software Decoding Hardware Decoding
H264 Unsupported Supported
VP9 Unsupported Supported
VP8 Unsupported Supported
AV1 Unsupported Supported
HEVC Unsupported Unsupported
AAC Unsupported Unsupported
MP3 Unsupported Unsupported
Opus Unsupported Unsupported
Vorbis Unsupported Unsupported
FLAC Unsupported Unsupported
Wave Unsupported Unsupported
