Build ID: 20120713134347

Steps to reproduce:

I installed Firefox on a new-installation of Windows 8 which uses an in-box driver (based on 12.6) for my Mobility Radeon HD 4000. Opened Firefox, went to Help > Troubleshooting Information


Actual results:

It shows that my graphics driver has been blocked for being older than version 10.6, thus disabling HW/Direct2D/Direct3D/GPU-Accelerated-Windows.


Expected results:

Since the Windows 8 in-box driver for HD 4000/3000/2000 is based on the last Catalyst driver released ie 12.6, HW should be working.
