I've tried to switch to Firefox, but I keep running into rendering engine issues with certain sites. It's like it's 2005 again.

Which sites? They actively pursue compatibility issues but it's pretty rare to see non-Google sites which only work in Chrome.

Unfortunately that hasn't been my experience in recent months. A noticeable number of random sites I come across, sometimes including quite important ones, Just Don't Work in Firefox.

Is there a quick way to send a link to such sites/pages, if someone at Mozilla is interested in investigating why?

I think it's important to note that this behaviour isn't necessarily due to anything wrong with Firefox. It could simply be because Firefox is better at blocking unwanted content than certain other browsers and that feature is working as intended, but the kinds of sites that rely on hostile content also tend to break if those scripts are forcibly blocked by the browser.

coda.io goes out of their way to only work in Chrome for some strange reason

Can't say I've had this problem...
