WebGL problem with Firefox and Google ANGLE

FYI, ran into a recent issue where onshape's compatibility checker said I had webgl disabled (I did not), with a supported GPU and recent(ish) drivers.
The issue seems to be some Gl compatibility layer called Google ANGLE.
Steps taken:
1. https://cad.onshape.com/check showed webgl not enabled, whole section red
2. I checked "about:config" to see that webgl was in fact enabled (webgl.disabled=false)
3. Then checked "about:support" to reveal that the renderer was "Google Inc. (NVIDIA) -- ANGLE (NVIDIA, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Direct3D11 vs_5_0 ps_5_0, D3D11-32.0.15.6094)"
4. Suspicious………. Went back into "about:config" and turned off ANGLE (webgl.disable-angle=true)
5. Now everything is working correctly :)
