Hello you fine folks!

I was using firefox with webGL until it upgraded to 73.0.1. Now all webGL content cannot be initialized. Specifically, Mapbox GL cannot initialize WebGL - I suspect someone has left a toggle in the code somewhere and it borked my workflow.

When I start firefox with all add-ons disabled I still get the same errors. I am 99% certain this has to do with the firefox update because it forced a restart and then various mapbox gl websites stopped working - I also confirmed it was not only mapbox gl by visiting the WebGL working site here: https://get.webgl.org/

https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/simple-map/ gives me results in the attached images

I literally did not change a thing except upgrade the browser as was required.

I tried also with firefox 74

It looks like some extra drivers I have installed from oibaf's repo was not playing nice with firefox 73.0.1 - I had those installed to fix other glitchiness with the display - purging that repo with `sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers` and restarting solved my issues.

Consider this solved for me.
