Of course it doesn't seem to work on Firefox :(

Hey! It's not antitrust because Google is not a monopoly. Just go demo Resident Evil Village in your Firefox browser through a different provider. /s

Firefox should shut themselves down so Google can be sued.

I don't know about Stadia but changing your user-agent to Chrome with something like User-Agent Switcher makes Nvidia Geforce Now work on firefox.

It doesn't seem to load on both Firefox and Chrome so I'm not sure the browser is the problem. Their servers are probably overloaded.

It worked in Chrome for me, but not Firefox.

It doesn't seem to work in the latest version of Edge either, works for a few minutes and closes.

My experience was it not working in Firefox, but working in Edge.

Firefox itself is a failure and it is not early days. We've given it enough time to be better than Chrome and it is still declining.

You mean web standards are a failure, because Google keeps creating products that only work in Google Chrome.

If only it was just google that equated the web with Chrome :|

I see. It's something else's fault. Mozilla Firefox had more market share than the declining IE and the opportunity to get further ahead at one point and it still lost. Even the CEO was confident in competing against Google if they were to release their own browser at the time and believed that they would not be >80% dependent on the companies revenue. [0]

The inability to recognise responsibility of past failures is perhaps the reason why Firefox has failed and the parent Mozilla is still totally reliant on Google's money.

When Google develops a product (Stadia) and does not adhere to web standards in developing that product, I do not know who else to blame for Stadia not working on browsers that support web standards, which was the criticism here.
