I just got an Update from Mozilla for Firefox to Version 61.0 and since then WebGL needs crazy a lot of CPU-Ressources. Anyone has the same Problem or even better – knows a solution?

We testet all our demos, any your chair configurator on last firefx 61.0 and all works smoothly. Can you share all other harsware specs and OS? Have you tried to open demos on different PC in 61 firefox? Have you get the same result?

Workstation Hardware Specs:
2x Intel Xeon X5650, 2.66GHz
Ram 48Gb
GTX 970

OS:
Win 10 64bit, Version 1709

I tried on an older System (i7, 8gb ram, 32bit) in firefox 61.0 and – no problems here!
So maybe some Settings in Firefox have changed after the update?

Problem solved! It was an driver incompatibility. I installed the newest driver for my graficcard and now the performance is fine again!

Can you try to do the same may be your problem can be fixed too with this method?

In my Case the Problem was this: Firefox was not able to get the performance from the graphic card, so the performance was adressed to the CPU. Which is a bad deal, even for 2 Xeons. If this is the Problem, it’s easy to find out: Just open the taskmanager and see how the high the GPU and CPU performance is. If the CPU is working really hard while using webgl in firefox, then maybe the graphic card-driver is not uptodate.
