I used to love Firefox, but fell out of love majorly. First there's a still long-standing bug (5 years and counting) that newly opened tabs don't have access to localstorage. Then 96.0 broke a lot of our code somehow. Cross-checked with 95 and everything still worked fine.

FF has presently 163 open bugs for localstorage-related issues. Some of them open for 3+ years. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=localst...
