Turning off hardware acceleration
- At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options
- Select the Advanced panel
- Select the General tab
- Uncheck Use hardware acceleration where available.
- At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select - Exit Start Firefox normally.

Disabling WebGL
- In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter.
- The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
- In the Filter box, type webgl.disabled
- Doubleclick on the webgl.disabled item to switch it to true
- At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select - Exit Start Firefox normally.
