Due to the decline in Firefox’s market share over the years, many developers no longer prioritize optimizing their websites for Mozilla’s Gecko rendering engine, which is used by Firefox. Instead, developers focus on optimizing their websites for browsers that have a larger market share and are based on engines that are used by more browser makers.
This can lead to a situation where websites perform better on Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers than they do on Firefox. This can be frustrating for Firefox users, who encounter issues such as slow loading times or the poor rendering of certain elements on websites with no solution but to change the browser. Some popular online services, which include game streaming services, do not support Firefox at all.
In addition to this, Firefox has been criticized for its weaker HTML5 performance compared to other browsers. HTML5 is a programming language used to build modern websites, and a browser’s ability to efficiently render HTML5 content can impact the overall performance and user experience of a website.
PCMag reviewed popular web browsers in November 2022, testing them using various synthetic benchmarks including
The three benchmarks were Speedometer, JetStream 2.1, and WebXPRT 4. Speedometer measures the speed at which the browser can process tasks written in JavaScript, JetStream 2 tests the browser’s ability to handle advanced and unusual applications, and as for WebXPRT 4 “It runs through several categories of operations to test performance, including AI photo recognition and encryption.”
Results for Speedometer and Jetstream 2.1 proved that Firefox was leagues behind other newer browsers as well as Chrome and Edge, and only coming close in WebXPRT 4.
