Same. Usually it's a case of "the site is broken on both", or a hard refresh is needed, so switching browsers feels like it works

I've had a couple straight up tell me I had to use Edge/Chrome recently.

Have you tried spoofing your User Agent to Chrome with a user agent switcher extension? The site might actually work in Firefox.

I never had that issue, untill starting last week. Now Google Maps won't work, for some reason.

It worked for years before that, it's a recent thing, in my case at least. Makes me wonder what's going on.
