Comment:
It looks like this is only for using OpenGL to accelerate rendering of
layers and drop shadows. It seems benign for now, as disabling it probably
won't change the fingerprint of rendering in a substantial way (since
you'd still be able to fingerprint how fast the unoptimized renderer
performs). Also, if we're worried about performance fingerprinting, I
think we want more general approach (#3059).
Retagging for ff24-esr to look at it again then.
