It might also help if I got a modern computer on the client side.I'm using a 2005 vintage Mac Pro 1,1, the very first Intel based Mac. Quad Xeon 2.6 Ghz CPU but memory bandwidth is horrid owing to buffered registered memory. THe video card was also antique. Never the less used to be able to watch video over x2go and this was actually far past the point where you say Firefox went to hell. It was about up to the point where they changed the plugin interface to be useless.

Was discussing how used to be able to watch videos on early x2go but not anymore. It was said to be a firefox issue. I found an interesting note in a vnc article but it might be applicable to x2go:

Wonder if tweaking with this could benefit x2go response?
No.
That's because unlike VNC, NX does not capture the content of a remote framebuffer (=the server side), but does the actual drawing *right on the client*. Which is why you need a client-side X Server. So there is no server-side X server in use that we could apply this change to. And like the text says, if you try to do it on the client side, you will actually slow it down even further, because you disable 2D acceleration.
For the upcoming X2Go-KDrive, it might help - but KDrive only works with full desktops, so it's no replacement for NX.
So if you want a fast Web browser with X2Go, I can only repeat what I wrote previously: Help us get Pale Moon 28 up to speed again, either by volunteering time as a tester, or by paying someone to work on the code.
