installed as proposed (thinkpad t430s, firefox 88.0, linux mint cinnamon 20.1, webGL not working). search for libOSMesa.so.6.5.3 goes on forever without result. what is found is this:
/usr/share/bug/libosmesa6
/usr/share/doc/libosmesa6
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libosmesa6
/var/cache/apt/archives/libosmesa6_20.2.6-0ubuntu0.20.04.1_amd64.deb
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libosmesa6:amd64.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libosmesa6:amd64.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libosmesa6:amd64.shlibs
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libosmesa6:amd64.triggers
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOSMesa.so.6
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOSMesa.so.8
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOSMesa.so.8.0.0

in about:config webgl.osmesalib cannot be found. the site http://www.doesmybrowsersupportwebgl.com loads forever and stays empty. sorry, but this method does not work here to help me getting webGL work on my notebook.
