Firefox currently renders frames unsynchronized with VBL, which results in tearing and interferes with the quality of the user experience.
On Mac OS X, this can be enabled by setting NSOpenGLCPSwapInterval to 1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a website that uses WebGL or 3D NPAPI plugins.
2. Interact with the application.
Actual Results:  
Frame tearing occurs.

Expected Results:  
Rendering is synchronized with the VBL.
