(Keywords: nightly-community, Whiteboard: [gfx-noted]) 

In about:config these preferences are set as:
> layers.mlgpu.sanity-test-failed = false
> layers.mlgpu.enable-on-windows7 = true
> layers.mlgpu.enabled = true
and in about:support under Graphics section under Decision Log
> ADVANCED_LAYERS	
> available by user: Enabled for Windows 7 via user-preference
> Blocklisted due to known issues; bug 1419264

So please provide "layers.mlgpu.force-enabled" preference in about:config to force enable "Advanced Layers" for testing, diagnosing and troubleshooting proposes, as when bug #1419264 landed and blocked "Advanced Layers", there is no possibility to force enable "Advanced Layers" and omit blacklist.

Found a way:

SET MOZ_GFX_SPOOF_DRIVER_VERSION=23.21.13.8541
"Path to firefox"

in a .bat file.

Use
"Path to firefox" -p -no-remote
If you want to start a specific profile

bug 1541472 will make this obsolete in the interest of code and maintenance reduction when WebRender is enabled by default for everyone.
