I have a specific issue I want to solve right now, but the topic is phrased more generally as I would love the answer to this as well. But this might be an XY-problem because of this, so here's the actual problem I want to solve:

I am using LibreWolf as my main browser, and it has WebGL disabled by default to avoid fingerprinting. I would like to keep it this way, but I am currently also making some internal tools for myself that requires WebGL (map renders with Plotly in Dash).

Is there a way to tell LibreWolf to enable WebGL only for specific sites, so that I don't have to manually toggle this when I want to look at my maps? My initial thought was that this could be solved with a site-specific about:config.

You can use NoScript.
Enable WebGL in LibreWolf/Firefox, block it with NoScript and manage a white list adding manually sites you need.

That seems like a very simple option. Does NoScript in any way interfere with uBlock Origin or any of the settings in LibreWolf? As in, can I just allow everything except WebGL, turn on WebGL in about:config and have the exact same behavior as before?

I use Firefox with uBlock and NoScript plus other addons and seems to be no interference between those two.
Should not be an issue on LibreWolf.

I'm not sure if NoScript can block webgl specifically

It can. I've tried out the solution, and it works as described. Very simple and nice:)
