How to enable WebGL in Firefox while installing software?

I am developing one web application which uses WebGL features of Mozilla 28.0 and above. But I understand we need to manually enable the "webgl.force-enabled" value as true to enable feature of WebGL. My question is, can we force make the "webgl.force-enabled" as true while I am installing my application on windows PC. Some API we can call while installation which can make this value as true? Please support me on this appliation.

Thanks & Best Regards, Prasad

You just need recent graphics drivers and the hardware acceleration option enabled (it's enabled by default).

Forcing WebGL on without adequate graphics drivers isn't a good idea. webgl.force-enabled can be locked, like any preference. This affects all Firefox profiles.
