Looks good the few seconds it works here. Then stops working and I have to close the tab and reopen for it to work again for another few seconds.

Firefox, Windows 11, Nvidia

Get the following in the console when it stops working:

  Uncaptured WebGPU error: Buffer binding 2 range 138024504 exceeds `max_*_buffer_binding_size` limit 134217728
  Uncaptured WebGPU error: Buffer binding 1 range 138024504 exceeds `max_*_buffer_binding_size` limit 134217728
  Uncaptured WebGPU error: In a set_bind_group command, caused by: BindGroup with '' label is invalid

It looks like a webgpu driver issue - can you tell me what model of graphics chip you're using?

RTX 5090 with 610.62 drivers, Windows 11 25H2, Firefox 153.0b9.

FWIW I tried the other one linked here[1] which also throws the same error and stops. Using the same engine perhaps?

Hmm, today it works all of a sudden. No changes, no reboots, no new drivers, not restarted Firefox either. Just repeated what I did yesterday: open the link in a private window.

Yesterday when it didn't work I did try multiple times, and as mentioned that other site as well.

Guess Firefox on Windows has some flaky WebGPU support?

edit: must be, worked fine a couple of times, then it stopped with same error as before even after multiple attempts.

thanks for double checking, that's very good to know!

Totally hung my Windows 11 machine with Firefox and 32GB of RAM. Ryzen 8745HS (Radeon 780M iGPU).
