FireFox 53 improves preserve-3d? #23

Check it out... I was just having a look through the Code Club resources and when you visit the Tightrope one you actually get the 3D trinket as opposed to the 2D one in FireFox. I've raised that as #22

Anyway, today I tested it on my Windows machine at home. Here's a screen shot from 52. Note USB ports. 52

Here it is again from 53. Looking a lot more like it. 53

But it's still not perfect. Flipping it round the Sense HAT layer is drawn on top of everything. 53

Still performance isn't great. But I was wondering if we should keep the _3d=true query string parameter to force 3D mode so we have a way of checking browser support in future?

A hopeful sign.

There are _3d=true links in the wild from pre-deploy testing, so I don't think it would be wise to force those links to 3D.

As for testing, there are plenty of tridiv codepens like this one that should let us keep up with Firefox's preserve-3d support over time. If they're making incremental improvements, it may still be a long time before they get things like backface visibility right. It seems t me that the recent improvements are narrowly targeted at getting simple examples like these to work (and they don't seem to yet as far as I can tell).
