WebGL Renderer & GPU Accelerated Windows Blocked for your Graphics because of unresolved driver issues
I am using Windows XP SP 2. My mother board is ASUS F1A55-MLX Plus, Processor: AMD A4-3400 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 2.70 GHz, 2GB DDR3 DIMM 1333 MHz RAM and 500 GB SATA HDD. I am using FF version 8. However, on some websites I cannot see the whole page on my 15" CRT Samsung color monitor. For the fact the slider at the bottom of the web page is not visible to move further left or right.

If it still does not offer Firefox 10.0.1, Download Firefox 10.0.1 and Install it on top of your current installation.

Hello mha007. Firefox version 10 (??). This is news to me. I have version 8 and periodically I click on Check for Updates and every time I am told that my version is up-to-date. My operating system is Windows XP Professional SP2.
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/10.0.1/releasenotes/ Firefox 10 recently moved to the release channel, Firefox 8 is no longer supported. Firefox 10.0.1 was released a couple of days ago.

It seams like you just built this computer. First you need to update to SP3. Then you need to install all the missing divers for your hardware including the graphics card driver which is not installed. Then you need to finish updating your OS with all the remaining patches. Lastly you need to update to Firefox 10.0.1 as that is the most up to date version at this time. If you still have issues after all that then post an update.
@mha007. I was able to update to version 10.0.1 via Help > About Firefox. Like John99 says it was updated a couple of days ago. However, the problem of WebGL and GPU still remains. I have asked my system supplier to check the same.
@zerofire. I have always built my computer and 'am a great fan of AMD. I hate Intel's blue Death Signs. We here in India do not like anything automated on our PC other than antivirus and antimalware along with pre-scheduled running of CCleaner and Defraggler. Once in a while I run CCleaner's Registry Cleaner. Even Windows Security Alerts are turned off. Windows XP and SP2 for PC and Windows 2000 for server are the most used. Not interested in SP3 or Vista as the transcription work I do requires me to just have XP or SP2. May later add on Windows 7 via dual booting.
Were you able to Update your Graphics Driver as mentioned in the last article of my previous reply ??
