majithia23 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 hello friends ....well i been trying out the new FF today , when noticed this strange thing ..upon using some Demo apps , from here --- Mozilla presents - Web-O-Wonder . WebGL and HTML 5 at Mozilla Labs - Mozilla App Directory WebGL games( specifically the Barfight game , Runfield game , Planet Buster game . )it reports WebGL is not enabled in the browser or update your video driver . i tried the same links ( a WebGL game link and a Demo link ) in Chrome , but it works fine there .no messages ...its clear and the links and the game work good ...so this shows there is no problem with the video driver .. ( and they are uptodate too ... )so why is FF reporting WebGL not available ...? :think:any settings required , openly or under the hood ?thanks ...

Administrator DKT27 Posted March 23, 2011 Administrator Share Posted March 23, 2011 What does it say when you type webgl in about:config? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majithia23 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 yeah i tried that too ... have a look ---now if i enable this -- " webgl.force-enabled;false " to " true " , then it seems to work fine ... there are no warnings or messages ....now i wonder , i manually ' forced ' the browser to use WebGL , and it did ....shouldnt it be doing it by default ... ?how do you have it enabled in your browser ?did you run any app/game to see the result ...:think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted March 23, 2011 Administrator Share Posted March 23, 2011 I see. I have no idea why. Nor know how to enable webgl via settings.But yeah I played the Runfield game yesterday and today just fine. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted March 23, 2011 Administrator Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yeah same here in about:config. But had no errors like that. It seems that many others are having the same problem ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majithia23 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 well its just not on my side , there are many other FF more too , reporting WebGL not enabled .its because , Firefox is blocking certain ATI , nVidia , Intel drivers , due to bugs ..check this link to see the blocklist and also find instructions to by pass or over ride the block and enable the WebGL again in FF 4 . Blocked Graphic Drivers thanks to DKT27 for the link ... :)+1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
