It's possible to use software rendering only in Firefox. I was thinking
that maybe it falls back to using this as a fail safe in case
accelerated rendering isn't possible. Anyway, that's just a guess.

Not sure about fps, didn't see a counter in the teapot demo, but it
seems fast enough.

Yes, I recall needing to shoehorn it in. It's probably a better idea to
get up to date 3D drivers first and see if that's enough to get WebGL
working.
