When I log into a certain .gov website it can't load some information due to blocked WebGL settings. How do I access that information?

OK, I missed your troubleshooting information.

You can check webgl.disabled on the about:config page and make sure it is set to false.

  • webgl.disabled = false

You can also possibly force WebGL by setting this pref to true.

  • webgl.force-enabled = true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".

You can check the Web Console for WebGL related messages.

You can check the Graphics section on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to see if there are issues reported about WebGL.
