Sometimes in some websites I would have unexpected behaviours with firefox. In a government website, some features would straight up not work.

Maybe things changed in the last few years, but there you go why I tend to stick with chromium based browsers

My hack is to use Firefox, install uBlock Origin and TURN OFF Firefox's "Enhanced Tracking Protection" completely. And I always change cookie settings based on the site, otherwise I reject all cookies.
This works better even though FF says it's protection & uBO work together fine.

Check out the extension ‘cookie autodelete’. Enables you to set safe sites and will automatically delete all the other cookies when you navigate away from a page of close the browser. It’s real simple to configure and works a treat. It’s also available for chromium browsers. (I use it in Edge for work purposes)

I’ve seen this and it’s disappointing, but I’d sooner stop using the website than I would Firefox.

On the contrary however the certificate authority I use only grants certificates to Firefox or Safari browsers.. so there’s that.
