Summary GeForce Now now supports Firefox on Windows, letting users stream more than 2,000 supported PC games without switching browsers.
Firefox is GeForce Now’s first non-Chromium browser option on Windows, but support has not reached Firefox on Linux or macOS.
Starting today, Windows users can stream more than 2,000 PC games directly through Mozilla's browser, without requiring any downloads, installs, or dedicated gaming hardware.
All three are built on Chromium, which meant there was no officially supported way to stream games through a different browser engine on Windows.
NVIDIA hasn't announced equivalent Firefox support for Linux or macOS, although the company says it will reveal more about the partnership at GamesCom on August 25.

NVIDIA is finally bringing GeForce Now to Firefox. Starting today, Windows users can stream more than 2,000 PC games directly through Mozilla's browser, without requiring any downloads, installs, or dedicated gaming hardware. Just about any Windows PC and a stable internet connection can stream some of the best supported Triple-A games, like Cyberpunk 2077 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
The launch follows months of engineering and collaboration between NVIDIA and Mozilla; to get started, update Firefox to the latest version, visit play.geforcenow.com, and sign in to your GeForce Now account.

Before this update, GeForce Now’s officially supported Windows browsers were Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera GX. All three are built on Chromium, which meant there was no officially supported way to stream games through a different browser engine on Windows.
Firefox, instead, uses Gecko, making it one of the few major browser engines that is not controlled by Google or Apple. This means that Firefox users no longer need to keep a Chromium browser around solely for GeForce Now, and Mozilla gets a significant demonstration that its browser can handle one of the web’s most demanding workloads.
Cloud gaming requires a browser to process a continuous high-resolution video stream while transmitting every mouse movement, controller input, and keystroke with as little delay as possible. The biggest disadvantage of relying on such a rig is that everything depends on having a very fast and stable internet connection. That said, cloud gaming has become so good that some of us are questioning whether expensive gaming setups are still worth it. NVIDIA says GeForce Now Ultimate members can stream through Firefox at up to 1440p and 120 frames per second.
GeForce Now connects to existing libraries on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Xbox Game Pass, and Ubisoft Connect. So, on that, the announcement doesn't mean every Firefox user gets 2,000 games for free. You still need to own a supported game or access it through a subscription. Moreover, Firefox allows players to run Discord in Split View, or keep a Reddit walkthrough guide open in another tab before switching to full-screen play.
However, GeForce Now support has only been announced for Firefox on Windows. NVIDIA hasn't announced equivalent Firefox support for Linux or macOS, although the company says it will reveal more about the partnership at GamesCom on August 25. Fingers crossed, that means GeForce Now support in Firefox for Linux.
