Gecko browsers require mesa-dri package to be installed to have a working WebGL
implementation. 

mesa-dri package is usually installed by xorg-server, but in case of browsers
running in a jail, there is no X server, since the jail only runs X clients
which connect to host's X server. 

There is a slight security implication to requiring mesa-dri in a browser jail.
mesa-dri package pulls in LLVM package. This may not pose a difference if the
jail is fat and has been created with full base image, but for minimalist jails
with trimmed base this kicks the door.
