User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0

Steps to reproduce:

Navigate to about:config, ensure the checkbox is checked, click "I accept the risks", search for "backdrop-filter" and ensure that the Value is "true"

Navigate to about:blank

Open the dev console

Inspect the DOM

Edit the body element as HTML

Replace with the following code:

<body>
Hello World
<div style="position:absolute; background:#7f00007f; top:0; left:0; width:100px; height:100px; backdrop-filter:blur(4px);"></div>
</body>

Actual results:

"Hello World" is not blurred. No other content behind the div will be blurred.

Expected results:

Backdrop should be blurred.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/backdrop-filter states that this feature is available in FF 70 with the flag set to true.

Component: Untriaged → CSS Parsing and Computation
Product: Firefox → Core

It also needs gfx.webrender.all set to true and a browser restart, the old composite doesn't implement it.

That mdn page needs a note if it hasn't one already.

Thanks Emilio, how would one raise a 'bug' against the mdn page?

I think you can edit MDN yourself, and somebody would review it.

It does not work for me, after setting both flags to true and restarting firefox. Firefox developer edition 98.0b7, Windows 10, Nvidia GTX 650 TI GPU

I can reproduce the issue even if both setting layout.css.backdrop-filter.enabled and gfx.webrender.all to true.

Regressed by: Bug 1741779 - Temporarily make backdrop-filter display item a no-op

So, it seems that Mozilla intentionally made these settings not to work for now.
