I would like to know if anybody experienced quite slow performance on firefox in comparision to chrome.

I’ve implemented a performance measure in my application. And when I run it via chrome I get an average of 58 fps and on firefox on the same machine just around 38 fps.

Does anyone experienced the same on their system?

Unfortunately FF is known for its slow performance with regard to WebGL. There is little we can here.

Okay, got it.
So only thing we could do is to maybe adjust quality etc. for firefox that we get a decent framerate.

Can you maybe tell if there is a specific thing, which is slows down firefox? Texture size, or shader complexity, polycount?

I think the overall WebGL canvas performance is the reason. But you can always try to use simpler shaders for FF.

I looked into that a bit. It seems that texture size of the environment is having a pretty hard effect on firefox performance. I’ve also seen that everything higher than bilinear filtering for the shadows got quite a big impact. Even when there are not so much shadows.
