It's a top down decision, probably, and probably related to internal quality requirements of software and support.
Also possible (but unlikely) is that Firefox doesn't support some certain thing, the absence of which might corrupt some state or data (error handling ain't exactly a thing javascript land, unfortunately.
- jakub_g 8y agoThis is like a highway operator saying "You can only enter our highway with a ford or a fiat. We didn't take time to test if an opel can properly ride our highway, so opels are not allowed". (Yeah I get it that they don't want to have people complaining that a niche corner case that was never tested in Firefox doesn't work. But this is a ridiculous way to do it.)
- akvadrako 8y agoNot really - it's about the surface area of the interface. It's pretty easy to know if a car will work on a road - it needs tires and the ability to control it's own movement. But if the road had thousands of different connections to the car, there certainly would need to be testing for each manufacturer.

Considering that it works with current Edge (which hasn't switched to Blink, yet), it's unlikely, as you say.
- asdff 8y agoIt's probably my plugin settings, but I regularly run into issues logging into random websites like for bank or credit cards on firefox. You input your credentials into the log in window, and absolutely nothing happens when you hit login. For these websites, I'm still shackled to chrome.
