 We block Direct3D 10 features (including Direct2D) on buggy installations where the Intel driver version reported in the Windows Registry is not equal to the version of the driver DLL, igd10umd32.dll/igd10umd64.dll. See {{bug|590373}}.
-Moreover, on certain GPUs in the GMA X3000 generation (G35, GL960, GM965), we block Direct2D. See {{bug|595364}}. We might however remove this bit as it seems to possibly be just a special case of {{bug|590373}}.
+Up to and including Firefox 6, on certain GPUs in the GMA X3000 generation (G35, GL960, GM965), we block Direct2D. See {{bug|595364}}. In Firefox 7 and newer, Direct2D is no longer blacklisted on these GPUs.
 We block the OpenGL drivers on Intel cards on Windows, see {{bug|625118}}. This does not affect default functionality, as we use ANGLE instead of OpenGL by default for WebGL rendering anyway.
