Every time something is broken for me on a site it is because of an addon/extension, not because of Firefox. I beleave Firefox get much blame for broken sites when it actually is an addon that the user installed which is to blame. I even have some vague recollection of Mozilla mentioning just this. Like 99% when something is broken it not because the browser but because some addon the user installed. So test a site that you dont think works with the "troubleshoot mode" in Firefox that inactivate addons etc to see if it works then. And if it works, then figure out which addon it is that makes the mess and to blame.

This matches my experience - it's not Firefox that's getting worse, but I'm encountering more and more sites that don't function correctly when uBlock Origin is enabled. Whenever I run into a site seems busted, I disable uBlock, reload, and suddenly everything works. I'm not sure if the filters I'm using are getting worse or if the JS on the sites I'm visiting is. I used to use Decentraleyes but I ended up uninstalling that completely because it broke so many sites.
