Experiencing Lag and Performance Issues with Xbox Cloud Gaming on Firefox – Any Fixes or Recommended Settings?

Hi Firefox Community,

I’ve recently started using Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) through the browser on my PC, and I’m currently using Firefox as my main browser. However, I’ve been encountering some issues while playing:

Noticeable input lag during gameplay

Occasional frame drops and stuttering

Delayed response times compared to when using other browsers like Edge or Chrome

I really prefer using Firefox for privacy and customization, so I’d like to stick with it if possible. The performance issues seem to be more pronounced in fast-paced games, making them difficult to enjoy.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Ensured Firefox is up to date

Disabled unnecessary add-ons and extensions

Cleared cache and cookies

Tested with hardware acceleration on and off

Internet connection is stable (wired, 200 Mbps)

Despite these steps, the performance still doesn’t match what I get in other browsers.

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues with Xbox Cloud Gaming on Firefox? Are there any recommended browser settings, configurations, or tweaks that can optimize Firefox for cloud gaming performance?

Any advice, tips, or solutions would be greatly appreciated. I’d really like to continue using Firefox without compromising my gaming experience.

Thanks in advance!

It is a Microsoft site, I'm not surprised.

AI Overview If Xbox Cloud Gaming isn't loading in your browser, ensure you're using a supported browser like Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or Safari. Additionally, verify you're on a supported operating system and that your device meets the minimum requirements for cloud gaming. Also, check your network connection and ensure cookies are enabled in your browser settings.

Enable hardware acceleration in Firefox (Settings > Performance).

Close unnecessary tabs/extensions and background apps.

Use a wired internet connection and limit other bandwidth usage.

Update GPU drivers and consider Edge or Chrome for better performance.
