[LUGSB] Firefox 4 OpenGL Acceleration Petition

[Richard Yao]

I was not aware of their efforts with XRender in the area of content
acceleration, although I think there is something to be said for
platform independent code. Since the Windows users are getting their
own variety of acceleration, it is easy for Linux issues to arise and
go unsolved for quite some time because the number of people affected
by them is small enough that the Mozilla Foundation can afford to
ignore them.
