Hello, I have everything related to WebGL in about:config turned off but it still seems to work because the terminal (I run Palemoon from the CLI) is flooded with messages like
Code: Select all
WebGL(0x7f1154929800)::ForceLoseContext
WebGL(0x7f115492a000)::ForceLoseContext

WebGL(0x7f115102f000)::ForceLoseContext
WebGL(0x7f11511b6800)::ForceLoseContext
My changes to the defaults:
Code: Select all
webgl.disabled;true
webgl.disable-wgl;true
webgl.disable-extensions;true
webgl.enable-webgl2;false
How do I disable the WebGL completely, once and for all?

Try, webgl.disable-angle;true.

It is disabled already, I've missed it when was copying other modified values, also I have non standard value
Code: Select all
webgl.disable-DOM-blit-uploads;true

I looked into this a little; it's actually a bit of a misnomer as it's part of DOM canvas, and while WebGL rendering might be disabled, parts of the plumbing (context) would still be active and being called from canvas methods.
That said, these messages to the console should not be enabled by default and it's something we've inherited from Mozilla. This kind of spew belongs in debug builds, not release builds. I'll get rid of it in normal builds.
