WebGL (Linux)

Post by IGraham »

Since updating to 93.0 (64-bit) this page will not load the interactive map - it did work with the previous version
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/interactive-map
The map section shows 'You must have WebGL installed and enabled on your browser to use the interactive map'.
The map does load and work in Opera, so WebGL is installed and its a Firefox problem.
Googling, found these possible fixers
webgl. disabled - set to false
webgl.force-enabled - set from false to true
layers.acceleration.force-enabled - set from false to true
They didn't work

Anyone know how i might fix this ?

In /Edit//Settings/Privacy - look at the Permissions settings for auto play.
Double check repository for webGL software and dependencies.
Worked for me, movement, enlarge-reduce.

Additional suggestions found on the Internet:
dom. webgpu. enabled True
