some websites don’t work on Firefox

Are you sure? Is there a list of these websites? I've been primarily using FF for a decade and haven't encountered any.

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.

I've had some map sites that just refuse to work on ff

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.

I've ran into a few in the last year or two. I also can't flash things like ESP32s (ESPHome) using Firefox for some security reasons, but this is fine as I'd rather be safe than sorry with my main browser.

I don’t have any specific list. But I have ran into a few issues with Firefox. (mostly on my IPhone) In my experience Firefox on Mobile is just up to par with Desktop.

Last I checked all browsers on IOS are required by Apple to be basically a reskinned Safari.
