From bug 1246633 and https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/45yhbm/4402_graphics_glitches_and_hanging_after_half_an - it looks like accelerated skia canvas on 10.7 is still bad. Disable it on anything less than 10.8

Comment on attachment 8721350 [details] [diff] [review] Disable accelerated canvas on OS X less than Mountain Lion Revert to pre-44 behavior for older versions of OS X. Sounds better for users than the reported flickering problems.

Comment on attachment 8721350 [details] [diff] [review] Disable accelerated canvas on OS X less than Mountain Lion Lame cc from bug 1249312 I am very unhappy to see this kind of uplift request that late in the cycle. Next time, please be on top of your features, Bug 1244569 has been reported a month ago :/ Taking it for the only reason that 45 is an ESR.
