Is dom.gamepad.enabled = true in about:config?

Firefox sometimes blocks gamepad API.

• • Best short solution:**

• Update Firefox to latest version.
• Go to `about:config`, set `dom.gamepad.enabled` to **true**.
• Restart Firefox and reconnect your controller.

This usually fixes it.

I faced something similar while testing controller inputs for my Android-based game project Avatar World Mod APK. The Xbox controller worked fine on Chrome and Edge, but Firefox didn’t seem to recognize the API events properly. What helped me was enabling the “Gamepad Extensions” flag in Firefox’s about:config settings and then restarting the browser. After that, input mapping started working normally across all major browsers. Might be worth checking that too.
