interesting, on my 2019 ipad pro, after initial loading that took a bit of time, editing was quite quick and fast for me*

i wonder if there is some parts that remain unaccelerated or hitting performance bottlenecks on linux/firefox?

* admittedly a bit low-res/ugly and hard to use on touchscreen

Firefox is indeed a bit of a hit-and-miss these days (though we absolutely want to support it). Best experience currently is on Chrome(ium).

Any ideas why it is hit and miss?

Do you test as much on FF as on Chromium based browsers, during development, as well as in quality assurance steps? I could imagine, that some devs are looking at it in Chromium (or even Chrome shudder) all day, while implementing things, and then just having to tick a checkbox for FF "Yep, seems to work.". Which would of course lead to a Chromium-centric code.

Most devs here use FF as their daily driver - that said, if you need to debug an emscripten-compiled c++ WASM application in the browser, then it's either printf-debugging, or Chrome + the C/C++ DevTools extension. Additionally, the overall QoI for running WASM binaries appears quite a bit better for Chrome. Both issues tip the scales currently, in favour of Chrome (sadly).
