Search using Firefox Help for disable WebGL returned the following question: How does one disable Webgl ? and a subsequent solution. Unfortunately, when trying to use the solution in FF5.0, it fails in step 3 when a "find" fails to locate "webgl". So, since there is a known problem with WebGL security in many browsers, how do I disable WebGL in FF5.0?

The pref webgl.disabled (true) is still there on the about:config page.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.
