Steps to reproduce:

Enquired on chat.mozilla.org as to status of Vulkan graphics capability in Firefox.

Actual results:

Was informed WebGPU runs via Vulkan API but not WebRender (compositor) or ANGLE at this time.

Expected results:

It should be possible to enable ANGLE vulkan implementation to be selected via a pref so those interested can experiment with features, performance & compatibility.

The implementation is here : https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle/+/HEAD/src/libANGLE/renderer/vulkan/README.md

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