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".
