Originally reported Firefox version: Firefox 94.0
Last reproduced with the following UA: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:126.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/126.0
Platforms reproduced on: windows,mac,linux,android

Steps to reproduce:
I was very surprised not to find a single issue about this, but geforce now is unsupported on firefox. This can be reproduced by going to play.geforcenow.com

Actual Behavior:
Browser unsupported

Created from https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/92539

I reached out to Nvidia about this in 2022. They didn't know of any technical reasons for not supporting Firefox but were currently only supporting Chromium. Now that they support Safari it might be worth reaching out again.

This works for me now. I still get a warning about an unsupported browser but I'm able to play.

Verified, as Jeff mentioned, the warning is still shown but I was able to play with using the RC build.

Tested with:

Browser / Version: Firefox 138.0-candidate build 1
Operating System: Windows 10

Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
status-firefox138: --- → verified

Let's reopen this. We still see a warning, so there still is an issue. Even if we don't do anything, we should keep an eye on it.
