If you have the time, please file a bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ it's pretty painless. We definitely care about Firefox on Mac. Thanks.

Would be great if you could start to care about Firefox on Linux, too. (It's the only platform where hardware acceleration is disabled for example https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1280523)

Yeah, it's really weird that you STILL have to force enable it through about:config. Come on Mozilla… Mesa 17 has arguably the best OpenGL implementation ever.

I can confirm that the 57 beta has acceleration enabled by default on Linux.

Are you sure? You need to check about:support, as the checkbox in the settings does nothing on Linux. It still says

HW_COMPOSITING blocked by default: Acceleration blocked by platform

for me with Nightly (57) on Linux.
