I’m having issues with Firefox and WebGL. I’m not sure if it’s the same issue as OpenGL (and OpenCL) not working anymore after Ugrading to Nvidia 470.42.01. However, maybe it is related.
If I visit 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.
Failed to create WebGL context: WebGL creation failed:
* WebglAllowWindowsNativeGl:false restricts context creation on this system. ()
* Exhausted GL driver options. (FEATURE_FAILURE_WEBGL_EXHAUSTED_DRIVERS)
And, if I visit https://www.kayak.com/travel-restrictions, I get the error:
Error: Failed to initialize WebGL
Running Firefox 90.0.1 (64-bit)
.
My graphics card:
$ inxi -G
Graphics:
Device-1: NVIDIA TU104BM [GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Mobile
/ Max-Q]
driver: nvidia v: 470.57.02
Device-2: Chicony Chicony USB2.0 Camera type: USB
driver: uvcvideo
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.11 driver:

OpenGL:

v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 470.57.02
UPDATE:
If I open about:config
and set webgl.force-enabled
to true
, WebGL works again. However, I never had to force enable WebGL earlier.
