LibreWolf Version

148.0.2-3

Operating System

Debian / Ubuntu / Mint

Installation Source / Package

Official Librewolf Repository (Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/openSUSE)

Description

The new "request WebGL permissions on a per-site basis" feature is awesome! However, https://maps.bing.com/ aka https://www.bing.com/maps , which (legitimately) requires WebGL, manages to break it by using javascript to automatically redirect users to https://www.bing.com/maps/sharing?webglerror=a

The latter page does not request a WebGL context, and so the permissions window vanishes before it can be clicked.

To recap

1. Enable WebGL with per-site permissions, and the permissions dialog enabled
2. Go to https://maps.bing.com
3. Observe the WebGL permissions dialog open
4. The site redirects to https://www.bing.com/maps/sharing?webglerror=a
5. The WebGL permissions dialog closes
6. Observe the site permissions button on the URL bar and note that there is no option to enable WebGL

A reasonable alternative would be to manually add the site in In the site-specific permissions area of the Settings window. However, this area only allows site-specific permissions to be removed, and not added.

Simply put, it is not possible to (through the UI) enable WebGL for https://www.bing.com/maps

(削除) You can manually add a site by going to the settings and then Privacy & Security -> Permissions and there you have a WebGL option (削除ここまで)

@okennedy You can press Ctrl + I and then allow the permission from there.

Thanks. This worked... it would be helpful if this were more visible. E.g., if one could add the permission via settings as @alyx161 defaulted to above.
