WebGL in Firefox 3.7 Minfield nightly builds
WebGL is essentially a way of accessing OpenGL from within the browser, through the HTML5 canvas tag. Following, Google Chrome and other WebKit-based browsers with improved 3D graphics handling capabilities, Firefox Minfield 3.7 builds include support for WebGL. You download from Mozilla FTP, and to enable WebGL support, head to about:config, search for "webgl", and change the webgl.enabled_for_all_sites value from false to true (double-clicking the value will change it).
