Hello,

If you enable WebGL support in ‘about:config’, then stop it and run:

$ export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=$(guix build mesa)/lib/dri
$ icecat https://get.webgl.org

and the web page reads:

   While your browser seems to support WebGL, it is disabled or
   unavailable.

Weird thing is that glxgears and glxinfo (from ‘mesa-utils’) both work
well.

Thoughts?
