Firefox 4 Beta 8 released with WebGL activated by default, WebGL brings 3D graphics to Firefox 4 opening the door for developers to create vivid games and new kinds of visualizations and experiences for the web. Mozilla claims Firefox 4 supports WebGL for large number of built-in graphics cards on Mac and Windows.
If you are experiencing any issues in trying the Demos for WebGL in Firefox, check you installed latest DirectX drivers from Microsoft and another case your graphic card should support OpenGL 2.0 drivers also. If you wish you can disable WebGL in Firefox 4, here is how.
Disabling WebGL in Firefox 4
1. Type about:config in Firefox address bar and continue with warning dialog.
2. Type Webgl in the Filter box double click “ webgl.enabled_for_all_sites” and set its value to False.
3. Restart Firefox browser, WebGL is now disabled in Firefox 4.
Update 11/05/2011 : In Firefox 4.0.1 “webgl.enabled_for_all_sites” preference has been changed to “webgl.disabled”. Double click Webgl.disabled entry and turn its value into “True”.

the Preference Name: webgl.enabled_for_all_sites does not exist in my FireFox 4.0.1 Does that mean that my FireFox is not vulnerable to http://www.contextis.com/resources/blog/webgl/
In Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows, the preference is named webgl.disabled. It has a default value of false.
Yep, updated the post.
