Windows XP FF v52.9.0 ESR Display Card EVGA GeForce GT240 512MB GDDR5 nVidia GeForce Driver v340.52

config:suport shows

WebGL Render: Working OK

WebGL2 Render: WebGL creation failed: * Error during ANGLE OpenGL init. * Error during ANGLE OpenGL init. * Error during ANGLE OpenGL init. * Error during ANGLE OpenGL init. * Error during ANGLE OpenGL init. * Exhausted GL driver caps.

I've searched can't find anything helpful

Windows 7 running on the same hardware in a separate partition renders WebGL 1 & 2 OK. FF v56.0.2 nVidia GeForce Driver v341.95

Chosen solution

This seems to be working:

In about.config

Webgl.disable-angle False (default) --> True

Webgl.force-enabled False (default) --> True

about.support now indicates both Webgl1 and Webgl2 are working. Also verified on Webgl2 test pages.
