Firefox fans, your years of asking finally paid off. NVIDIA GeForce NOW now officially supports Mozilla Firefox on Windows, letting you stream over 2,000 PC games straight from your browser — no dedicated app, no install, no hardware upgrade needed.

Until now, Firefox sat in “unsupported” territory, plagued by broken mouse movements in streamed games and poor streaming quality. That changes today, after what Mozilla describes as several months of joint engineering work with NVIDIA.

Why This Matters

Firefox becomes GeForce NOW’s first non-Chromium browser option on Windows, joining Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Opera on the list of officially supported browsers. That’s a meaningful shift, since Firefox holds roughly a 3.6% browser market share as of July 2026 according to Statcounter — a niche but loyal user base developers rarely prioritize.

GeForce

NVIDIA GeForce NOW Director Andrew Fear said Firefox earned its spot by delivering the first-class experience GeForce NOW players expect, adding that the company set a high bar for browser support before welcoming it in.

Cloud gaming itself relies on continuously streaming high-resolution video while transmitting input in near real-time, a demanding process that’s part of the broader evolution of cloud computing described on Wikipedia.

The Catch

Ultimate subscribers get the full 1440p/120fps experience, but the native Windows app still holds the performance crown, supporting up to 5K streaming at 360 FPS. So while Firefox closes a long-standing gap, power users chasing max performance may still prefer the dedicated client.

FAQs

Q1. Do I need a paid plan to stream on Firefox?

Yes — 1440p at 120fps requires a GeForce NOW Ultimate subscription.

Q2. Does Firefox support work on Mac or Linux?

No, this rollout currently applies only to Firefox on Windows.
