[GTALUG] getting Firefox to exploit GPU

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

By default, on Linux, Firefox does not use the GPU for rendering web 
pages.  You can enable this by a setting in about:config
	gfx.webrender.all
Change that from false to true

I don't actually know that much about the performance impact.

Apparently Mozilla leaves this off just to minimize support problems.  It 
isn't that the Firefox code is buggy.  There have been times where there 
were problems with some components the Linux graphics stack.

I'm trying this with my notebook now.  Why?  I learned about this by 
asking a Mozilla guy before a meeting and it was easier and quicker to 
change my browser setting than it was to write a note.

I'd love to hear any experience with this setting.
