In Firefox:

Searching about:config for javascript shows many screens worth of info. 
Near the top of the list is javascript.enabled which is listed as true. 
There's an icon to the right that looks like arrows pointing in both 
directions, left and right.

Searching about:config for webgl shows a couple of screens worth of 
info. Partway down the first screen is webgl.disabled which is listed as 
false.

I guess that tells me that at least part of the two issues are enabled. 
No idea how to know which of the rest of the entries make any difference.

Thanks!
