My goto example is roll20.net. During a gaming session some feature or thing didn't render. Switch to chrome... worked perfectly.

The real problem is that firefox is tier 2 support or not even. It's a small percent of users so it's a cost/benefit for these businesses.

A recent issue I had was buying tickets from air india. You can't with firefox... it'll hang at a certain point. Switch to chrome... works perfectly.

The web is dead. It's basically client/server nowadays. Firefox is still my main browser, but I keep chrome/chromium around when I need it.

Thanks for trying to use Firefox first!

You can report websites that don’t work in Firefox on webcompat.com and Mozilla web developers will test and diagnose the problem. When possible, they attempt to reach web developers at the site (using personal contacts or referrals when official channels aren’t working) to share the bug report and a suggested fix.

In other cases, Firefox can include a site intervention script to patch the site or send a different browser User-Agent string to make it work.
