Yeah, it's really weird that you STILL have to force enable it through about:config. Come on Mozilla… Mesa 17 has arguably the best OpenGL implementation ever.

I can confirm that the 57 beta has acceleration enabled by default on Linux.

HW_COMPOSITING blocked by default: Acceleration blocked by platform

for me with Nightly (57) on Linux.
