How do I choose the GPU that Firefox is active on?

My laptop has two GPUs which are the integrated graphics card of the Intel CPU and the graphics card of NVidia. Now I want to use WebRender in Firefox, does it use the integrated graphics card or the NVidia graphics card for rendering?

As shown in the picture, my GPU#1 is active, but the GPU#2 I want to use is not active, how do I make GPU#2 active?

Also: when will WebRender be active?

Yes, this is a problem because we can't choose the GPU we want to use.

And we don't get any response or help right now...

I'm also seeing it in Win10. Interesting...

Changed the graphic settings in the bios to discrete and only NVIDIA is working. The card is now active in Firefox, but my laptop screen is dark.

I tried to disable my integrated graphics card in device manager, but it didn't work
