Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux aarch64; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0

Steps to reproduce:

Try to start Firefox in a VM using the virgl GPU. You will see some error messages and Firefox will qualitatively act more sluggish than Chromium (which does support Virgl, but has a bug where the text doesn't show).

Actual results:

These messages are printed:

Crash Annotation GraphicsCriticalError: |[0][GFX1-]: Failed GL context creation for WebRender: 0 (t=1.17488) [GFX1-]: Failed GL context creation for WebRender: 0

(t=1.17546) |[3][GFX1-]: Fallback (SW-)WR to Basic (t=1.17604) [GFX1-]: Fallback (SW-)WR to Basic

Expected results:

WebRender should have been enabled.

For 95, Firefox is just a blank screen. For >100, Firefox doesn't even start, complaining about something to do with VAAPI.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Graphics: WebRender' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Graphics: WebRender
Product: Firefox → Core

This is no longer a problem for me.
