You can download an earlier version of the Nightly, for instance:
… and WebVR works there. Just make sure to turn off automatic updates, or it'll replace itself with the latest version next time you restart.
Most WebVR content works on Mac. Here are a couple to get you started:
Firefox #webvr support on macOS has regressed. A workaround until it's fixed:
- Stop all Firefox processes
- Use terminal to start Firefox with the MallocNanoZone environment variable set to "1":
For Firefox Release, run this:
export MallocNanoZone=1 && /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
For Firefox Nightly, run this:
export MallocNanoZone=1 && /Applications/Firefox\ Nightly.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
- Be sure to flip "dom.vr.enabled" to "true" in about:config if using release firefox.
Do not use if you use multiple macOS "network locations" due to remote risk of crashing
