While some of you are still discovering the new features and improvements in Firefox 83, Mozilla is already working on the next major version of the popular and open-source web browser, Firefox 84, which promises to finally enable the WebRender feature by default on Linux.
Until now, Firefox shipped with WebRender disabled by default for Linux users, but that’s about to change with the upcoming release, Firefox 84. To enable WebRender in Linux, you had to access the about:config configuration page, search for the gfx.webrender.all setting, and set it to true.
WebRender wasn’t enabled on Linux until now because it may cause instability or other issues for some users, especially on Wayland where things are still experimental these days. With the upcoming Firefox 84 release, WebRender will apparently be enabled by default on Linux systems running on X11, not Wayland.
