You can set it to force WebRender on, even if the hardware probing and/or
qualification failed.
If it already shows WebRender, Firefox has successfully gathered hardware info
and decided that the GPU is good. So you don't strictly *need* to force it.
Just hope that the updates won't ever break the detection :)

Nah, what's happening in your X compositor has nothing to do with what's going
on inside Firefox.
