🦊 Firefox Improvements

Firefox users are experiencing significant performance degradation across multiple scenarios. This section consolidates all Firefox-specific issues into a single tracked workstream. The long-term fix is tied to the ongoing WebGPU/WebGL migration (#893).

Known affected scenarios:

• Giant World and large maps cause extreme FPS drops and frame freezes
• Factories on large maps cause severe performance loss
• General rendering performance is significantly worse than Chromium-based browsers

Issue	Title	Status
#3651	Abysmal Firefox performance (most reported — 10 comments)	Open
#893	Use WebGPU/WebGL instead of Canvas2D (long-term fix)	Ongoing

If you are experiencing Firefox performance issues, please add your details to #3651 rather than opening a new issue.
