Our OpenGL implementation is a permanent work in process, as it is 
rather complex functionality which is not our main focus.  I don't think 
that OpenGL ES 2.0 is a true subset of OpenGL 2.0 (Wikipedia mentions 
that "OpenGL ES 2.0 is defined relative to the OpenGL 2.0 specification" 
but that "many implementations seem to be left handed, in contrast to 
OpenGL history" [1]), but I presume that Firefox is set up to do any 
necessary translation, since it is talking to OpenGL drivers and not 
OpenGL ES ones.  So: wouldn't a bug ticket against our OpenGL 
functionality be more appropriate for this?  (And confirmed, it fails 
here too on an Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 2 guest and an Ubuntu 11.10 host, 
whereas it works on the host.)

Regards,

Michael
