I am trying to get Firefox 11 to turn on hardware acceleration, but it's complaining that my up-to-date driver is blocked. "about:support" says "Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version 257.21 or newer."

I'm running XP SP3 fully updated and a GeForce 7300 LE with the latest driver version 296.10.

If you go into about:support, can you copy the exact text that appears in the graphics section? (or take a screenshot).
