Question about direct backend

Closed this issue · 3 comments

When using the direct backend, should I set gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled to true or false?

elFarto commented

Firefox should already be using EGL as the default backend, so it shouldn't need to be set. You can check this by looking at the X11_EGL section in the about:support page.

Then README.md should probably be updated that it is not required? Currently it is marked as required.

Yeah I'm currently confused about the same thing -- regardless of Firefox's current default, is it a setting still needing to be set (either by the user or by FF) with the direct backend?

Edit: @elFarto already answered this here: #265 (comment) (yes -- even with the driver using direct backend, Firefox still needs to be set to use EGL)
