Found this possibility for firefox online.
Advice:
You can check the Graphics section on the about:support (Help ->
Troubleshooting Information) page.
Response:
In about:support, in the graphics section under WebGL 1 Driver Renderer
it says:
WebGL creation failed:
Refused to create native OpenGL context because of blacklist entry:
FEATURE_FAILURE_OLD_NVIDIA Exhausted GL driver options.
Are you using nvidia graphics drivers? Have you installed the
latest nvidia drivers from rpmfusion? This is all supposed to work
right out of the box, but when I look online, I find that this error
occurs due to lots of reasons. Here is a quote,
"OpenGL errors can be caused by a variety of reasons including corrupt
OS files, outdated drivers, poorly developed apps, incorrect system
configurations, and more."
I'm focusing on the outdated drivers because the only other reasonable
cause would be incorrect system configuration, and that is a bear to
diagnose via email. If it was OS problems or apps, you would not be
the only one experiencing this. It is something about your system that
is causing this, drivers or configuration.
