  • I've been using Chrome for C3 but it started working slowly for me (see https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/general-discussion-7/anyone-seeing-slower-167843), so I want to see if Firefox will perform faster. However, FF isn't giving me the option to load projects from a file folder. Screenshots below are 1) from FF, and 2) from Chrome. Is there something I can do to enable loading projects from a file folder in FF? FYI I'm using FF 97.0.1.

    Not sure if i understand you correctly, however i see on both the pictures "open local file", which is what you are looking for? The only thing missing from FF pic that i see, is the "open recent file" tab.

  • No, I believe he wants to load a project folder. You can save as single file but also as a folder. And similarly load it.

    I just tested in Chrome and Firefox. I can't load a local folder either, or at least don't see the option either.

    But honestly, I think Chrome is still the best and probably the fastest browser to use C3 in. It certainly is the most commonly used browser.

    Exactly. Perhaps it's a browser limitation with FF where it can't access the file folders, Ashley any thoughts? Edit: I also noticed I can't save a project in FF to a local file, only to the following. Is this normal?

    I agree Chrome would be best, but I recently started experiencing slowness w/ Chrome (see the link in my first post of the thread) so I wanted to try FF.

  • Saving to local files, and saving to folders, depends on the File System Access API. Currently only Chromium-based browsers like Chrome and Edge support it. Other browsers like Firefox and Safari don't support it, so in that case Construct falls back to showing other alternatives.

  • I figured it was something browser-specific, thanks Ashley for the confirmation and additional detail.
