Public bug reported:

Firefox 7 beta has WebGL inactive although it's printed to only need an
older that the current Mesa driver:

I just upgraded drivers from ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers and I now use
7.12* version of Mesa and it's only needed 7.10.3, but I guess it's not
correctly "read" by Firefox.
