Hey Hugh,
I want to try this out on my GPU. Is there an easy way to benchmark
performance in firefox?

By default, on Linux, Firefox does not use the GPU for rendering web

gfx.webrender.all
Change that from false to true
I don't actually know that much about the performance impact.
Apparently Mozilla leaves this off just to minimize support problems. It
isn't that the Firefox code is buggy. There have been times where there
were problems with some components the Linux graphics stack.
I'm trying this with my notebook now. Why? I learned about this by
asking a Mozilla guy before a meeting and it was easier and quicker to
change my browser setting than it was to write a note.
I'd love to hear any experience with this setting.
