Hi!

Does WebRender gets disable by default in Firefox 87 Snap?

I use Firefox as an Ubuntu Snap. In Firefox 86 (snap version) I got WebRender enable by default, I check the about:support and run some benchmark to confirm that WebRender was enable and everything seems good! But now with this update I no longer have webrender enable by default, I test the apt package of firefox 87 and webrender is enable by default in Ubuntu 20.10.

Can someone please confirm that WebRender is disable by default on the snap version of FF 87 and why?

Thanks!!! <3 FF

This doesn't look like the official Firefox version from the Mozilla server, so best would probably be to discus this at Ubuntu Support since they know more about how this version behaves and is configured. 

name: Firefox
version: 87.0
buildID: 20210318103112
distributionID: canonical-002
userAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv: 87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0
updateChannel: release-cck-ubuntu

You can check the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page for more detail.

Thanks cor-el!

I'm going to ask in the snap forums Snapcraft forums before I file a bug

But I think the snap is managed by Firefox its self as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=snap]

and if I do the snap list in terminal, the publisher is mozilla verify.

Maybe its something temporal! or in preparation for FF88
