Is there a bug/explanation somewhere of what behavior changed with failIfMajorPerformanceCaveat in FF83? -- 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/1905054 Title: Firefox 83 Breaks WebGL Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: Upon upgrading from Firefox 82 to to Firefox 83, WebGL stops working. Ubuntu 20.10 with Wayland. When I try to launch a webGL game: Failed to create WebGL context: failIfMajorPerformanceCaveat: Compositor is not hardware-accelerated. Specifically Pixi says: Error: WebGL unsupported in this browser, use "pixi.js-legacy" for fallback canvas2d support. Downgrading to Firefox 82 works. Not sure if this is an Ubuntu build issue or Firefox, so I also filed upstream as well: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1678652 I need this functionality for work, and pinning to version 82 will be problematic in the long-term.
