Youtube videos screen tearing Firefox | Void Linux XFCE

For gaming, I disabled XFCE's compositor because the "Display fullscreen overlay windows directly" option doesn't function when checked. I don't care about tearing anywhere else on my desktop, and even scrolling web pages I'm fine with it. But Youtube videos I'm not fine with tearing. I've already tried switching "layers.acceleration.force-enabled" to true in Firefox. But that doesn't do anything.

Is there an elegant solution? I want direct draw in games, no tearing on Youtube in Firefox, and the rest of my desktop I don't care.

My graphics card is a Radeon RX 580 using the default "amdgpu" driver, with two monitors. Firefox is version 129.0, XFCE is version 4.18, and the Linux kernel version is Void's 6.6.48_1.
