What complexity are you referring to? And do you actually encounter issues while browsing using Firefox?
I am curious as I don't relate to this and recommend Firefox to friends and family.
- curryst 6y agoI've seen things that don't work quite right in Firefox. The Zoom webapp doesn't recognize some of my audio devices, but Chrome does. The Citrix gateway also fails to log in on Firefox sometimes. I don't know whether those are bugs in Firefox or if Chrome is doing something funky that causes it to work but not Firefox.
- mr_toad 6y agoZoom is using experimental API in production. Just another on a list of their cowboy tricks. I haven’t tried using Citrix for years. It used to work fine in Firefox, but given the quality of it I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve broken something.

My uncle (who clicks on popup ads, and installed spyware twice a day until he got a non-admin account on a non-Windows OS last year) doesn't care about that. He doesn't know what an experimental API is. He wants to click the thing and have a video call open with his coworkers, kid's teacher, and family. There are alternatives. None of those people use them. This is how open standards die: by convenience and cowboy tricks. Get with it.
- mr_toad 6y agoIf you do this you run the risk of having the rug pulled out from under you. All those LOB applications that were designed for IE only have basically been left high and dry. Nobody wants to support or use IE anymore, and the applications that require it don’t look so good any more.
