Actually, you don't even need to close the site first. If you go to the login screen with a WebGL page active, then log back in, WebGL has died and requires a Firefox restart

Comment 4

[Simona Badau, Desktop QA]

I can confirm this issue on Windows XP with Firefox 15 beta 3:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0

Steps to reproduce:
1. Navigate to http://crazybugs.ivank.net/
2. While Firefox is in focus lock the screen.
3. Unlock the screen.

After step 3 - WebGL content isn't displayed (works again after restarting the browser).

Setting the status of this bug to NEW.

On the latest Aurora and Nightly, the WebGL content is displayed after restarting the page. 

On the latest Beta the WebGL content is displayed only after restarting the browser.

That is the expected behavior, for pages that do not explicitly handle WebGL context loss. Pages that do handle it should recover immediately, e.g.
https://www.khronos.org/registry/webgl/sdk/demos/google/san-angeles/index.html

That is a bug. I seem to remember we recently fixed a bug like that, but I don't remember the bug #, sorry. But that would roughly match the timeframe.

Thanks for clarifying.
Would the fix for this issue be worth porting to Beta? I can find the patch that fixed this issue if needed.

Comment 8

[Benoit Jacob [:bjacob] (mostly away)]

The bug was bug 764578.

I don't think it's worth backporting to beta.
