Windy loads gray context less maps in Firefox
-
Recently Windy started to load all gray without map colorizations in my browser (Firefox ver. 143.0.1). At the same time developer console displays WebGL related errors, even in a profile, where WebGL is enabled.
02:45:16.404 Failed to create WebGL context: WebGL creation failed:
- AllowWebgl2:false restricts context creation on this system. () index.js:1:242155
02:45:16.405 Failed to create WebGL context: WebGL creation failed:
- WebglAllowWindowsNativeGl:false restricts context creation on this system. ()
- Exhausted GL driver options. (FEATURE_FAILURE_WEBGL_EXHAUSTED_DRIVERS) index.js:1:242179
Am I the only one to observe the problem?

Hi, since the update v47.0.0, all layers are webgl-only. Based on the information you provided, there must still be some flag that prevents usage of WebGL within your browser. All layers can run on both WebGL1 and WebGL2. Please, make sure that flags webgl.disabled and webgl.disable-wgl are set to false (in case of about:config in Firefox), and double check other flags that may block WebGL. -
@schilpat That was my hunch from the start, too and I tested this hypothesis in a separate browser profile, where WebGL had never been disabled.
I just rechecked in the non hardened profile confirming that the aforementioned settings are false, and it still failed there.
This was firefox 143.0.3 running under Xorg 21.1.18.

@schilpat I have solved the problem. The problem was caused by lack of unregistered browser dependency that was not installed on the affected system, which run a trimmed set of software.
