Comment:

 Okay, this almost dropped off the radar. It turns out that I can't
 reproduce the issue with 8.5a1 anymore, which is kind of weird. The only
 explanation I have is that I used the new NoScript API in Torbutton back
 then but the NoScript 8.5a1 shipped was not ready for that one (a mistake
 that happened to me just a couple of minutes ago while re-investigating).
 The result is a broken NoScript denying JS by default preventing the WebGL
 demo from running.

 At any rate, I picked up Arthur's patch and pushed a branch for `tor-
 browser` (`bug_27290` (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug_27290&id=6eadc8186a20298ed6d0469f64586d63bec1cfd1))
 and fixed the Torbutton issue in `bug_27290_v2`
 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/torbutton.git/commit/?h=bug_27290_v2&id=7d98f3bd4348aa79efe040118763c77c84745173).
