User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20140216004001 Steps to reproduce: 1. In a Windows builds, go to about:config and set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true 2. Restart Firefox 3. Go to http://shadertoy.com Actual results: Firefox hangs and eventually has to be force-closed. Expected results: Firefox shouldn't crash. WebGL intensive applications should fail more gracefully.
Since this might be hardware configuration-dependent, I have an Nvidia GTX 660 running the 332.21 drivers. This also happens on another machine with an older Nvidia card.
I can reproduce the hang with 100% CPU. Stack : bp-c3e29d5d-e758-4e05-bb77-8c9ee2140217
