Electrolysis Texture Sharing

Summary

• Test configurations necessary for testing Electrolysis texture sharing:
  • Windows 7 with a GPU/driver that supports Direct3D10/Direct2D.
  • Windows XP machine with a GPU/driver that supports Direct3D9.
  • OS X (10.6, 10.7) machine that supports OpenGL layers.
  • Linux-x11 machine that supports OpenGL layers.

• To enable out-of-process content in desktop Firefox:
  • build Firefox with the option --enable-e10s-compat
  • set the pref "browser.tabs.remote" to true in about:config and restart.
• To return to in-process content
  • set that pref back to false and restart again.
