For the people commenting on the Firefox+Linux issue: it doesn't work for me, and this is the error I get:

>Refused to create native OpenGL context because of blacklist entry: FEATURE_FAILURE_OLD_NVIDIA

So the real combination is Old NVIDIA drivers + Linux + Firefox. (Maybe not even Firefox, the issue might be inseparable from my old card. I'm not going to try it on Chromium.) The question is, why is my card blacklisted? I think it might be because of a security vulnerability that Chrome hasn't patched.

Agreed, I have an intel embedded thingamabob and it works fine. I wonder if there's a software rendering option in FF that will make it work?
