--- Comment #5 from Jan Beich <jbeich at FreeBSD.org> ---
(Legacy) OpenGL compositing for Gtk platforms has been on ice[1] due to many
regressions. WebRender needed[2] OpenGL compositing due to shared code. As
WebRender matured some drivers were qualified[3]. Only Tier1 platforms were
qualified, so BSDs and Solaris which also use Gtk and share widget/compositing
code with Linux were left out. For example, FreeBSD would be[4] detected as
OperatingSystem::Unknown.

HW_COMPOSITING used to show AccelerateLayersByDefault() value but nowadays is
overriden via WEBRENDER_QUALIFIED.
