Steps to reproduce:

Try to disable Pbuffer and  use legacy method of context and offscreen texture managment on Firefox with Windows OGL drivers.


Actual results:

There is no flag in about:config to disable pbuffer path. 

Disabling it can be done in 3 ways:
1. Hack OpenGL32.dll and disable wglPbuffer* or wgl*TexImageARB extensions.
2. Disable it in debugger.
3. Code modification.

Neither of this methods is developer friendly.


Expected results:

It should be to disable pbuffer in about:config in webgl.* section.
