This is probably forcing something (webgl?) to fall back to slower
software rendering.

This is from a new feature in Firefox: netid.

I have trouble understanding the document, but I think it's so that they
can perform better caching and cookie handling when firefox migrates
between networks. It looks like this would let them know that
www.google.com when resolved in a captive wifi network may give different
results than www.google.com when on different networks, and not allow
caching and security information from one network taint the results from
other networks.

Thanks
