On Windows Vista and Windows 7, to force-enable Direct2D Content Acceleration, go to about:config and set '''gfx.direct2d.force-enabled=true'''.
On Windows Vista and Windows 7, to force-enable Direct2D Content Acceleration, go to about:config and set '''gfx.direct2d.force-enabled=true'''.
In Firefox 4 and 5 (not in Firefox 6 and newer), on X11 platforms (like Linux), the driver blacklist is implemented differently and bypassing it requires you to also define the '''MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST''' environment variable. You can run Firefox using this command line:<br/>
<code>MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST=1 firefox</code>


On Windows, you can also spoof your graphics system information to help debug driver blacklisting issues: see {{bug|604771}}.

If force-enabling a feature doesn't work, that probably means that your hardware doesn't support it. For example, layers acceleration currently requires support for 4Kx4K textures, which rules out some graphics cards, [http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-gma-3000-and-x3000-developers-guide/ like the Intel G31/G33].
