Right now we insist on an accelerated compositor when deciding if we want a compositor process or not. Behind a preference, allow the software backend and compositor process combination.

We do have layers.gpu-process.force-enabled preference, but that is a bit too strong.

Bug 1356091: Allow the compositor process with the software compositor.
Approval Request Comment
This introduces a preference, and allows software compositor in the compositor process when that preference is set - which it isn't by default. So, the change as such is a no-op and thus of very low (zero :) risk.
Why do we want it? There are some indications that there may be performance improvements with the compositor process (bug 1334655), not just the stability when it comes to the drivers. If this is the case, well, things are good.
We'd like to be able to run some telemetry experiments with 54 on aurora/beta, which is what this change/preference would allow us to do.

It'd be interesting to see if this nudges Talos in one direction or another on Windows non-accelerated backend(s)

Uhm, of course it shouldn't, because it is off by default.

There might be performance improvement here. Aurora54+.
