WebGL unsupported in this browser - Firefox 79.0 (64-bit)

See original GitHub issue

WebGL is supported (https://get.webgl.org/)
v5 demos load on canvas instead of WebGL (https://pixijs.io/examples/#/demos-basic/container.js)
Stencil is supported (https://caniuse.com/#search=WebGLRenderingContext stencil)

Cause: failIfMajorPerformanceCaveat was fired. Never had any problems until last week. Still no idea why this is happening. Workaround: PIXI.settings.FAIL_IF_MAJOR_PERFORMANCE_CAVEAT = false;

Environment

pixi.js version: v5.3.3
Browser & Version: Firefox 79.0 (64-bit)
OS & Version: Windows 10 Home - Version 10.0.19041 Build 19041

You can set that flag to be ignored if you wish via https://pixijs.download/dev/docs/PIXI.settings.html#.FAIL_IF_MAJOR_PERFORMANCE_CAVEAT

But that’s just the browser going “hey, with this graphics card and these drivers, I think performance is going to be really bad”. You can ignore that with the flag I’ve just given, but there’s nothing more beyond that. Each browser has their own blacklist of certain devices / drivers / feature combinations that they’ll decide is either not supported, or supported but with a performance caveat.
