Question about direct backend

[Tiagoquix]

When using the direct backend, should I set gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled to true or false?

[elFarto]

Firefox should already be using EGL as the default backend, so it shouldn't need to be set. You can check this by looking at the X11_EGL section in the about:support page.

Then README.md should probably be updated that it is not required? Currently it is marked as required.

Yeah I'm currently confused about the same thing -- regardless of Firefox's current default, is it a setting still needing to be set (either by the user or by FF) with the direct backend?

Edit: @elFarto already answered this here: #265 (comment) (yes -- even with the driver using direct backend, Firefox still needs to be set to use EGL)
