Hi all,

I recently installed Debian 12 on my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro, and am using the GNOME desktop (x11). From time to time I play a game called survev.io . It’s a browser battle royale game, not hard on graphics.

I have an Nvidia rtx3060 and have the proper drivers installed. I checked using nvidia-smi and Firefox is using the Nvidia gpu.

The issue is that the game runs smoothly until I press a button or move the mouse. Then the framerate decreases significantly and it becomes unplayable.

I already tweaked the following settings in Firefox to no avail:

  • gfx.webrender.all = True
  • enabled hardware acceleration
  • layers.acceleration.force-enabled = TRUE
  • gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled = true

And now I’m out of ideas. The game itself isn’t too important to me, but other browser games do the same, so it’s a wider issue I want to solve.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    As of version 121, Firefox defaults to Wayland if your session is running Wayland.

    Might want to try in a fresh profile since you made config changes.

      I checked in about:support and Firefox is using x11, so maybe wayland isn’t installed

        Your entire session has to run in Wayland, you can’t only run Firefox in Wayland.

        Can you run echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE in your terminal? Does it say x11 or wayland?

          It’s x11, when I check my desktop environments I only have gnome and gnome classic

              It seems indeed the nvidia drivers disable wayland. I played around in Firefox settings a bit more and a setting around input delay seems to have fixed it for now. I hope it stays that way. If not, I’ll migrate to chromium
