I don't buy that this is accidental. When you write software, you test it on every platform you choose to support. If it doesn't work on a supported platform,

It's very likely that Microsoft do not claim to support (as in, put customer support resources behind) Firefox Nightly, this would be reasonable as it's provided for development utility, not daily use. However, I do somewhat disagree that you test it on every platform. If Teams is built as a website, do we expect them to test every feature of every release on every browser? Probably not, we expect that they do reasonable testing across a representative range of browsers, maybe focused on major features.

If they've got good unit tests, they may test every feature of every Teams release and I assume they test on all the browsers/versions that represent the vast majority of the market. They don't bother supporting FF Nightly because it's not important to them, not because of some "accident" in the code.

  You guys test against non-stable versions of every browser before release?

    Nope, and that's a matter of policy. I certainly wouldn't argue it's an "accident" that a site I create doesn't work properly in FF Nightly.
