Straight to the point: Is there some way to add a button or shortcut to quickly enable/disable WebGL without having to find it in settings every time?

The only issues I’m having using FF are all related to having WebGL disabled, so I find myself reactivating it relatively often. I wish there was some kind of quick way to enable it for this session only, or for this tab only. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

    Because it’s a privacy and security risk? Because it reduces fingerprinting?

      But disabling it creates a whole slew of issues, hence the post. Turns out there’s much better solutions.

        What are the issues? Both my browsers have it disabled.

            OP did not elaborate on their issues. You said it creates a whole slew of issues, I asked what they were.

            No need for a strawman here. What are the issues?

              I’ve had exactly two issues that have actually affected me.

              1: The screen sharing didn’t show up in Zoom, when watching a lecture.

              2: When looking for an apartment to rent, the integrated map on the site didn’t show. Which was very unpractical as I couldn’t see the location of the flat I was looking at.

              Haven’t had any other problems, so I wouldn’t call this a slew of problems either. Both problems were solved by enabling WebGL and refreshing.
