These codes are prepared for save an image from a canvas. It only runs fun in IE/Chrome. In firefox I get only a blank image,grey or black when the canvas is loaded WebGL. Firefox can save images of a canvas properly ,while only being abnormal when a canvas loaded WebGL. How to solve this problem?
Actually I want the image to be sent back to the server.If firefox users get wrong images, whole construction will be destoryed.
