>WebRender is gradually enabled by default on Windows 10 desktops with NVIDIA graphics cards

Does this mean Webrender in Stable can now be force-enabled for non-Nvidia graphics cards on Windows 10? The language is a little unclear. AFAIK Webrender is available to anyone using Nightly by force enabling it.

It would be better if they offered a way to really turn it off. Firefox has got very crashy in environments that have no access to a GPU.
Currently it will only be enabled on Windows machines with Nvidia GPUs. So this shouldn't be an issue for environments with no access to a GPU.
gfx.webrender.force-disabled=true should do the trick.

Though we shouldn't be attempting to switch it on without a GPU, if you could file a bug that would be great.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Could you set set gfx.webrender.enabled to false?
Already did. It is not enough.
