Is anyone else having trouble running some Itch.io games in Firefox ? I tried deactivating all add-ons, but still doesn't launch (it does on Edge. Yeah I don't use Edge, just tested it cause I had it preinstalled on Windows lol)

Do you have examples of games that don’t work?

Thanks

I've had issues running web games in Firefox (EDIT: even after disabling extensions), but Brave will run them fine. No, I haven't compiled a list. I prefer downloading and playing locally, so usually do that if available.

Damn that's weird
I wonder what Firefox does that other game don't
I don't know nothing about tech usually, but I know you can change things in FF about:config, maybe some kind of settings would fix things, but I'd had to know what even causes the problem in the first place lol

"I wonder what Firefox does"

It's made by Mozilla, not Google (Chrome is the most commonly used web browser).
