    I love Firefox. Love it.

    But I keep coming across sites that don’t function properly with it. Is this Firefox’s fault? No - Firefox follows standards nicely. But growing numbers of sites don’t, and this is a big problem at a micro and macro level.

    Chrome seems to have such a foothold that it is getting away with embrace/extend/extinguish and I think it’s a very sad thing.

      This is an especially common problem on Android. I have found many sites whose mobile version simply does not work in Firefox. It’s very frustrating.

        Have you got an example I can test? I switched to Firefox mobile over a year ago and I can’t think of any time I’ve come across a site that didn’t work.

          The most recent issue I had was Birds and Beans “manage subscription” page so I don’t think you can test that without a coffee subscription. But here is a screenshot:

          I’m not sure why it says “nightly” as I’m on the stable version.

            This isn’t Firefoxs fault though, is it? Just a bad Website putting arbitrary restrictions in place

              Not Firefox’s fault at all. Just a website not following web standards.
