WebGL won't work properly.

Error: WebGL: Disallowing antialiased backbuffers due to blacklist.

Now I look online and saw that it mean that the hardware (I.e. manufacture) don't grant access to the browsers to use the GPU. But note it running on chrome, but also note it's the stand alone version of chrome. So I don't know does chrome trick the hardware into thinking it's a
Non browser application that need access to the GPU in order to function correctly. If so I say FireFox should do the same. Or unless I'm messing something.

Note to Moderators, I'm waiting on two post to be posted to the mailing list. It need your approval. Please look into it.

WebGL can be disabled for graphics cards if everything isn't working properly and sometimes an issue may be fixed but the graphics card not removed from the blacklist.

You can force WebGL to be turned on:

1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Return.
2. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
3. In the Filter box, type webgl.disabled.
4. Doubleclick on the webgl.disabled item to switch it to false.
5. Click the menu button New Fx Menu and then click Quit Close 29.
6. Start Firefox normally.
