Public bug reported: This is with Ubuntu 16.04.
Using the Ubuntu-provided Firefox 57.0, if I go to https://get.webgl.org/ I get the message: "Hmm. While your browser seems to support WebGL, it is disabled or unavailable. If possible, please ensure that you are running the latest drivers for your video card." In the JavaScript developer console there are some messages, including: "Error: WebGL warning: Failed to create WebGL context: WebGL creation failed: * Refused to create native OpenGL context because of blacklist entry: FEATURE_FAILURE_OPENGL_1 * Exhausted GL driver options." There are similar messages for WebGL in about:support. However if I download Firefox 57.0 from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/57.0/linux-x86_64/en- US/firefox-57.0.tar.bz2 and use that to go to https://get.webgl.org/ , I get the message "Your browser supports WebGL". So it looks like Ubuntu-provided Firefox has a problem while Mozilla- provided Firefox doesn't. (FYI, I reported a similar problem in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1724705 , where DRM-protected content doesn't work with Ubuntu-provided Firefox but does work with Mozilla-provided Firefox.) ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/1735529 Title: Firefox incorrectly blacklists system for WebGL Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is with Ubuntu 16.04.
