[SOLVED]-Firefox 11 HTML5-NO Hardware Acceleration???

Hi,

I'm developing an HTML5/JS 2D video game.

My problem is that default Mozilla Firefox 11
in my Linux Mint 12 KDE 64Bit OS
is not using hardware acceleration?


I've tried the default OS nVidia proprietary display driver
and the current 295.33 display driver from the nVidia website
but neither makes Firefox 11 use hardware acceleration?

I've posted about this problem
in the Mozilla Firefox forums
and they said they could not help me.

So, I bring my problem to this forum.

As a temporary solution, I installed Google Chrome for game testing on Linux.

How do I enable hardware acceleration on Linux Mint 12 KDE 64Bit's Mozilla Firefox 11 ???

Hope someone knows how to fix this...
Thanks!

Hi,

My Linux Mint 12 KDE 64Bit died and I had to do a full system reinstall.

After the reinstall, update, and installation of recommended nVidia display driver
Mozilla Firefox 11 still was not using hardware acceleration.

I went into Firefox settings(type "about:config" in address bar)
and set "layers.acceleration.force-enabled" to true and restarted Firefox.
Hardware acceleration is now working but its a little unstable.
(Firefox has crashed about 3 time over past 2 days)

Here is a screenshot:


Hope this helps others, thanks!

Hi,

Hardware acceleration for HTML5 in current Mozilla Firefox 11 is not working too well.
I recommend users install Google Chrome on their Linux Mint 12 KDE.
