3D maps can still be enabled.  In Firefox, click on the Lite Mode 
lightning bolt.  Then click the link to Learn about Lite Mode.  On that 
page is a button that says USE MAPS WITH 3D.  This opens a new browser 
window with the maps in 3D mode.

The setting doesn't stick, unfortunately.  But at least it can be 
enabled for a session.

It might be possible to figure out how it decides that the client does 
not have the requirements and fake it.  WebGL might be what it is 
looking for, although it is obviously not required.
