User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0
Steps to reproduce:
Installed version 117 from the mozillateam PPA, and opened Firefox with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND set.
Actual results:
In about:support, it shows that Firefox is using llvmpipe as its GPU for WebGL, instead of the builtin one.
Expected results:
Firefox would prioritize the hardware GPU correctly.

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

Good. Please:
-
test Mozilla binaries:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Firefox_problems#Testing_Mozilla_binaries -
Run Firefox with MOZ_GFX_DEBUG env variable and attach the log here:
MOZ_GFX_DEBUG=1 firefox > log.txt 2>&1
Thanks.
The Mozilla binary seems to work fine - it detects the GPU correctly. I've attached the log.txt for the Firefox I have installed currently.

mozillateam
PPA is not maintained by us as much as I can tell, and it's deb package not snap
Looks like mozillateam PPA is missing some gfx libraries so GL is not detected properly.
Hi, would like to confirm that this issue seems to only exist within the snap version of firefox, as the stable
and nighty (121.0a1)
binary from firefox does not present any issues with GPU detection, nor does the flatpak (x86_64/stable
).
