I'm not too sure how to go about this. Ideally, if a user is concerned about being tracked via WebGL, they'd disable it in about:config.

On Windows, Firefox returns Google Inc. for the vendor with Linux, Firefox returns VMWare Inc..

EDIT:
Now it returns the graphics card I'm using. I wonder what happened.

@sereneblue That's a good point, though, wouldn't it make the browser more unique? I don't think many disable WebGL...But I am no expert, so if you are not sure about it I would say either leave it open for further opinions or close the ticket.

Hm, I wonder if disabling WebGL creates a more unique fingerprint compared to using a specific graphics card. I think most desktop users have an integrated graphics card. If I had to choose, I'd disable WebGL. Outside of a few things like games, it's not necessary for websites to have access to it.
