I hope they also bring Direct2D support to Firefox so that all the UI is fully GPU accelerated rather than relying on the deprecated GDI/GDI+.


Cairo recently received an OpenGL backend first since Gecko is supposed to run on platforms other than Windows as well. The Mozilla wiki mentions that the developers are considering a Direct2D backend should the OpenGL performance turn out to be suboptimal.
