Ok, after forcing FF18 to enable WebGL with https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drivers#How_to_force-enable_blocked_graphics_features
webgl.force-enabled=true webgl.msaa-force=true layers.acceleration.force-enabled=true for the same test http://webglsamples.googlecode.com/hg/aquarium/aquarium.html it is now 30 fps. So for some reasons WebGL functionality seems to get blacklisted in FF. However it seems to work realiably and stable. On Windows it's still 40FPS but now difference is much smaller to previously 4 FPS on Linux. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917266 Title: firefox Intel HD Webgl performance unusable Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Performance of WebGL on Intel HD Grafix is far from usable. I am certain this is not a capability / driver issue, as - for exact the same hardware, the tests under Windows 7 64 bit / firefox 32 bit perform constantly at least 10x faster (dual boot system) - compositing in KDE 4.7 (with probing disabled) feels realy fast and snappy These test are ridiculous slow: http://webglsamples.googlecode.com/hg/aquarium/aquarium.html 3 fps with 50 fish http://mrdoob.github.com/three.js/examples/webgl_materials_shaders_fresnel.html 3-4 fps http://mrdoob.github.com/three.js/examples/webgl_materials_cubemap.html ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: firefox 9.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-15.25-generic 3.0.13 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-15-generic x86_64 AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
