    I love Firefox. Love it.

    But I keep coming across sites that don’t function properly with it. Is this Firefox’s fault? No - Firefox follows standards nicely. But growing numbers of sites don’t, and this is a big problem at a micro and macro level.

    Chrome seems to have such a foothold that it is getting away with embrace/extend/extinguish and I think it’s a very sad thing.

      This is an especially common problem on Android. I have found many sites whose mobile version simply does not work in Firefox. It’s very frustrating.

        Have you got an example I can test? I switched to Firefox mobile over a year ago and I can’t think of any time I’ve come across a site that didn’t work.

          The most recent issue I had was Birds and Beans “manage subscription” page so I don’t think you can test that without a coffee subscription. But here is a screenshot:

          I’m not sure why it says “nightly” as I’m on the stable version.

            This isn’t Firefoxs fault though, is it? Just a bad Website putting arbitrary restrictions in place

              Not Firefox’s fault at all. Just a website not following web standards.

      That was Internet Explorer 20 years ago and look where we are now.

      I personally can’t remember the last time I had issues with a site on Firefox in the last few years since I switched.

        Discord and spotify web versions don’t work on Firefox for me. On discord in can’t connect to a call and Spotify doesn’t play songs or it takes a long time after pressing play for the song to start playing.

          Both work flawlessly for me. In fact, discord on Firefox works much better than the standalone app specifically for calls.

          Sounds to me like something is broken or misconfigured on your system.

      That’s such bullshit. People keep saying SO MANY SITES DONT WORK ON FOREFUX

      with zero examples.

      I see no examples. You’re making a ridiculous claim with no proof and I’m astounded at how many people believe you here.
