Those experienced with web dev around here will tell you Chrome is the main (or only) browser tested with most websites these days. Some things might be slow or broken in Firefox. One example situation that comes to mind is you can't scroll to the bottom of the page on some sites in Firefox due to terrible spaghetti layout design, so the submit button is not normally reachable. Or it loads under a banner and becomes unclickable.
There's also some sites that seem to actively make things worse on purpose or refuse to load even if they otherwise do work. I think YouTube was noted for doing this a few years ago.
In other areas, small company sites may claim Firefox just doesn't work on their site. Sometimes prompted because an ancient version once was broken and the browser entry list was never updated, or they simply forgot to account for it in the grouping of "Internet Explorer or Other." I see this more often than I would like.
- behringer 4y agoI only had one site in recent memory that failed to load. I put in a call to the support line and they fixed it. Tbh this whole idea that the web is broken on ff is not true, tho it is true some web assembly apps fail to work properly in my experience. I challenge anyone here to give an actual useful site that fails to work properly in ff.
- bit_logic 4y agoA recent example I found: https://tools.usps.com/rcas.htm https://tools.usps.com/rcas.htm (the "Initializing Services" modal never goes away in FF, works almost immediately in Chrome and Edge) This is just the most recent example I remember, unfortunately there have been enough at this point that if I'm doing anything important (such as filling and submitting some important form), I do it in Chrome because I don't want it to silently break in FF and cause other issues with invalid or corrupt data submitted to the service.

- somishere 4y agoI build for Firefox and then bugfix chrome and safari. Safari usually requires a touch of tomfoolery after the fact. But otherwise it's dev butter.
