This is just straight-up slander. I've been using Firefox since 1.0PR (so for 20 years now). It was a very rare occasion when a website wouldn't function properly, and almost never would a website completely break. I haven't had a single issue with a website in Firefox for over 5 years now. I would appreciate it if you could post some examples of some websites that "simply won't work with it", because I simply don't believe you.
Mobile is fine too. I have a bad habit of not closing tabs. It's gotten so bad that the tab count number is just the infinity symbol on my phone. Still don't have any slowdown issues on a Fold 3. Didn't have any on my OnePlus 6T, either, nor my LG G2, nor my Galaxy S3. Quit making shit up just to have an excuse to stick with a shitty browser.
I often have to use edge or chrome to do most if anything related to my classes or for pearson. Almost never wants to work on Firefox
Ah yes, anything institutional or governmental tends to behind on the times when it comes to browser compatibility. Good point.
I remember back when I tried to get assistance from my local government; the application form didn't work unless you had IE6 (a browser that hasn't been supported since Windows XP), in 2012.
Not op but moda healths find care page. It has a rapid refresh loop or just doesn't load at all in Firefox. Chromium it works.
