User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b13pre) Gecko/20110315 Firefox/4.0b13pre Build Identifier: If you run Firefox in 32-bit mode accelerated layers will be disabled, and performance will suffer accordingly. Tested using both the 9400M and the 9600M GT on a new profile. Setting layers.acceleration.force-enabled to true will enable the acceleration and performance is increased. Reproducible: Always
Version: unspecified → Trunk
It's true. Unfortunately, we were never able to get QuickDraw plugins to work when we were compositing layers with OpenGL, so we intentionally disabled it when Firefox supports QuickDraw plugins - i.e., in 32-bit mode.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Unfortunately, we're unlikely to want to devote resources to 32-bit-specific features at this point.
