Disable WebGL. Not in a funny javascripty extension, in about:config.

Do you have an authoritative link for how to do so? The wisdom of the web seems to alternatively refer to webgl.disabled, webgl.disable-wgl or webgl.enable-webgl2 . I know I can simply disable them all, but I still like to know why there's three toggles and what each one covers.
