As title goes, I just want to enable hardware acceleration for HTML Canvas2D, is there some ways to enable this? Or it is opened by default?

I have already set "layers.acceleration.force-enabled" o "true", but I have no idea about that does this flag already cover Canvas?

Thanks

Hello,

Try enabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

You will need to restart Firefox for this to take effect so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.,) and then perform these steps:

  1. Click the menu button Fx57Menu and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
  2. Select the General panel.
  3. Under Performance, uncheck Use recommended performance settings. Additional settings will be displayed.

  4. Check Use hardware acceleration when available.
  5. Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox
