> At present, the Firefox beta and Chrome support WebGL

Um, Firefox has supported WebGL in release builds for quite a long time now.

Yes, but it seems Google doesn't let Firefox access MapsGL yet. Your guess as to why...

It works in my Firefox 8 (which is indeed beta). I can't think of a reason in particular, but there was probably something added in Firefox 8 that it needs (eg full CORS support or something)

edit: yep: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/WebGL/Cross-Domain_Textures (at least, that is an important WebGL feature coming in Firefox 8)

You are correct; CORS texture support is required for WebGL maps.
