(Reporter: ryan.lue, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:76.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/76.0

Steps to reproduce:

Forgive me for not really knowing anything about Mesa/OpenGL/WebGL/graphics drivers. On Debian testing (bullseye). Package libglx-mesa0 is on v19.3.3-1

Visit https://get.webgl.org/

Actual results:

get.webgl.org says:

Hmm. While your browser seems to support WebGL, it is disabled or unavailable. If possible, please ensure that you are running the latest drivers for your video card.

in console:

libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
libGL error: Version 4 or later of flush extension not found
libGL error: failed to load driver: i915
libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information

Expected results:

WebGL should be enabled.

WebGL works in chromium, and also works when setting security.sandbox.content.level to 2.

Also, I should note that this is not a regression introduced by a recent release of FF: it's broken on both v75 and v76, but oddly, was working just fine on the same machine last week. Possibly impacted by a recent Linux kernel upgrade (5.4.0-4 -> 5.5.0-1)?

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.
