HOWTO enable WebGL on Firefox 4

[dentaku65]

Hi,
yesterday I've installed FF 4 on my Lucid box.
I've found that webgl on my old intel card it is not supported giving me this message on webgl sites "This Browser does not support WebGL"

Here the steps to enable it:

1) First istall libsosmesa

sudo apt-get install libosmesa6

2) Type about:config on FF address bar

3) Search for value webgl.osmesalib

4) And as string type: /usr/lib/libOSMesa.so.6

5) Restart FF, done!

To check the enabled webgl feature go to
https://demos.mozilla.org/en-US/
and play 360° Video

Or go to http://bodybrowser.googlelabs.com/

Be careful because browsing with webgl (at least with my poor i915 intel card) is very eager of resources

Just ran across this...figured it could use a bump

Works in Natty too.
