Unable to Access FlightRadar24 web site due to issue with WebGL
Since this week I have been unable to access flightradar24 web site due to a problem with WebGL. It tells me that I need a compatible browser e.g. Firefox
I am running Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon on and I7 processor with a NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 710] graphics card.
I have edited the about:config file as follows:
webgl.force_enabled TRUE
but noted a collection of failed messages as shown on the attached screen shot.
This web site is still accessible using chromium on the same computer, suggesting that there isn't a hardware problem.
Thanks

Chosen solution
The site also worked correctly with older the NVIDIA-driver-390 so I tried reinstalling the current recommended version - nvidia-driver-470 - with Firefox about:config still modified to:-
webgl.force_enabled TRUE
And it is now working correctly...
Whatever the original issue was the removal and subsequent re-installation have solved the problem.

It works for me. see screenshot I have NVIDIA Quadro P4000. Could it be driver or ffmpeg related issue?

Interesting - after your comments I changes from the nvidia-driver-470 to the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (open source) driver and it works. Clearly an issue with my nvidia driver - which driver are you using on SUSE?
Glad to hear that it works. My driver is shown in the 3rd screenshot. Are you running a Desktop, Laptop< or DIY? If not DIY, what make and model?

YAST is one of the main reasons I have never installed another Linux Distro. ;-))
