Following advice from Gentoo, I used the following:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST=1 ./firefox -P
-no-remote

WebGL is definitely enabled, now when I load the URL FF4 crashes with
the following error:

"failed to create drawable"

I'm definitely running Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe, and Mesa 7.10 (OpenGL
2.1)
