Firefox WebGL Extensions Have Stoppped Working?

I was using FF verion 30.0 an all was fine before I elected the update and upon reboot the extensions failed to work and I recieve error messages "Error Creating WebGL Context" as I attempt to load WebGL sites which have always worked while I am the site developer! I have attempted to uninstall FF 33.0 and reinstall FF 30.0 however, mozzila has stuff everywhere an I could spend some time tracking it all down for the clean install?..Any ideas would be appreciated? On the upside, chrome had stopped successfully loading WebGL but has now again starting but however lacking some graphic texture extensions! This link reports, detects the ability to utilize WebGL in browsers...http://prideout.net/recipes/ExtensionViewer.html...It isn't OpenGL related while my graphics card doesn't support OpenGL and there is no updating the driver...WebGL has always worked..Any help out there?

Appreciatively, Ted

There are two about:config entries that can be turned back on: user_pref("webgl.enable-draft-extensions", true); user_pref("webgl.enable-prototype-webgl2", true);

In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.

Do they not work?
