Yep might be a good thing to do. It would be better if it still had the efficiency it had in the early days. Early implementations of x2go, I could fire up firefox on the server and watch a video and for the most part it was smooth. These days I only get about 10 frames per second, something has slowed.
Uh, yes, we've been discussing this on the list quite a while ago. It's not an X2Go issue, but a Firefox issue - they changed their rendering engine to something that is super fast on a local machine, but is slow as molasses on remote connections. The only option used to be Pale Moon
- a Firefox fork - that kept the old engine, but only up to version 27. 28 is broken as well, and we could currently use some more funding and/or additional manpower for the ongoing research/development project to get PM 28 up to speed again.
See the thread "Firefox Browser Performance via X2Go - and a call for help on behalf of X2Go and Pale Moon" dated "28.10.17, 13:26" in the list archives: <http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2017-October/004601.html> (Initial crosspost to X2Go-User and X2Go-Dev) <http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-dev/2017-October/012168.html> (Thread on X2Go-Dev, with a sole reply by Ulrich Sibiller).
Since there were no other replies back then, we were on our own, so work is proceeding veeeery sloooowly.
