Currently, I am utilizing D3.js to create a force layout for animated circles moving around. While it performs exceptionally well in webkit browsers, I am experiencing significant slowness and clunkiness in Firefox.
Someone else encountered a similar issue here: D3 force layout graph causes slowness in Firefox browser
However, the suggested "solution" was to reduce the complexity of the animation to alleviate the strain on Firefox. I am reluctant to compromise on the quality of the effect. Thus, my query is how can I achieve a similar result without impacting Firefox performance negatively?
Is it possible to achieve the same animation using Raphael in a manner that is more compatible with Firefox?
Are there any alternative libraries that are more cross-browser friendly?
Perhaps there is another approach that could be more effective?
