Actually, just re-checked and it is broken. Stupid Mozilla!

It's enabled.

My card can't be blacklisted either as it's up to date on drivers and is a GTX 970.

Forcing enabled to true also has no effect.

*uninstall and risk security issues....hmmm. I categorically refuse to install chrome!

**Edit

WebGL works in latest nightly build but shaders are totally foobar'd

What are you using to test? Does System/Renderer show as WebGL?

No problem here, FireFox 32Bit, Windows 7 64Bit.

But the CPU usage is extem high against chrome. Chrome 0-1%, FF 8-11%.

That must be the first time updating the GPU driver actually fixed the problem... False alarm I guess.

Depending what you install, drivers - both system and GPU - can get corrupted from time to time. I should know better after the amount of time I've worked in IT :/

WebGL works fine for me on latest Firefox stable (v43) and Nightly on an nVidia GeForce GTX 660.

Browser makers regularly update their GPU blacklists as they find out about more issues - it might be that your driver/hardware was added to the blacklist for this version. Also sometimes there are mistakes and more devices are blacklisted than they intended, so it could be that. IIRC, they can update the blacklist separately to doing a full browser release.
