Some websites are nearly impossible to use in FF due to slow performance

I just opened up Google Earth in Firefox to see what would happen. It’s buttery smooth with basically zero lag on loading assets, and zero lag zooming and dragging around on my 240Hz display.

I have a 1gbps symmetric fiber connection and I’m running NixOS. my Firefox Nix Home Manager config is here:

Thanks for trying! Google Earth is running my max refresh rate in Edge, but it’s painfully slow on FF. If it’s working for you, then I know there’s hope!

I’m on Windows, unfortunately, so that’s one variable I can’t change. I’ll consider that config, though!

What?

I have run both Google Earth and Google Maps in Firefox on Windows since forever and it has allways been fine.

This is not a Firefox issue.

Yes, they both work (no issues with Gmaps from what I recall), but try Google Earth on Edge and tell me if it’s any smoother. To me, it’s so dramatic that you simply can’t ignore it.

I just tried it on my home computer with the following specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600X

RAM: 32GB DDR 4

GPU: nVidia GeForce RTX 3070

OS: Windows 10

C: Drive: 1TB NVMe Samsung 980

Internet speed: 250/250mbit

Screen resolution 2560x1440

It workes fine in Firefox, even while playing a yt video in anonther tab in Firefox, in Edge the performance was the same as in Firefox even without a YT video playing

Thanks for that. I’ve got a Framework laptop, and just looking at their support community, it seems like Firefox has not been playing well for quite a few people, with many citing “choppy” performance, so I’ll have a look what they’ve discovered.

Both Firefox and Edge was a bit choppy when zooming in, but nothing bad when panning…

That’s interesting. Edge (and Opera) in G Earth are 100% smooth at my monitor’s max refresh rate (60 fps).
