User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 Build ID: 20150624141335 Steps to reproduce: The preference "gfx.prefer-mesa-llvmpipe" is never used. It was introduced with bug 731836 but the code which made use of it was removed with bug 958368. Currently the only occurence of "gfx.prefer-mesa-llvmpipe" is in source/modules/libpref/init/all.js in line 699 (see http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-aurora/source/modules/libpref/init/all.js#699 or grep/search for it yourself). Actual results: The preference has no impact and gives the user the impression, that he/she can influence firefox to use llvmpipe by setting it to true (which was the case but is'n anymore since bug 958368 was closed). Expected results: Either remove "gfx.prefer-mesa-llvmpipe" or reintroduce the code (see bug 958368) that uses this pref. In the first case some bugs should be closed/reopened to avoid confusion: bug 731983 (I would love to work on this addon btw), bug 958368, 731836 (Additionally I would be very glad, if someone could clarify how to officially (?) force firefox/ANGLE to use software-rendering as a fallback. I've managed to do so by (re)placing a dll (in the appropriate dir) and setting "webgl.disable-angle" and "webgl.force-enabled" to true. But this is out of the scope of this bug, I think? Thanks, though.)
