I tried it on mobile and it's interesting that quite a lot of websites are broken. Many tapping workflows I had in Chrome on Android are fully broken in Firefox. From simple deepl.com to Google products that look like they dropped FF support.

Even Reddit on Firefox PC crashes occasionally (the whole site turns white while browsing). Reddit on FF on Android is barely browsable.



I haven't encountered any issue with Firefox for Android for years.

Here's how you can fix this all at once: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/g3tyfu/how_to_swit...

Google is intentionally breaking support for Firefox on their websites. Other just don't care and support monopolies.


Firefox does seem to be untested for a lot of websites.

You can't do video calls with Teams in firefox for a really clear and obvious example, but I encounter breakages quite often and have to switch back to Chrome.

Safari suffers the same, but I get the impression people are testing safari more than Chrome.. but I hear so many complaints on hackernews about safari, I suspect at some point Chrome penetration will finally dislodge Safari on MacOS... or if MacOS market share goes down: then it's over and we have a total monopoly.


Teams should be working in Firefox around now. https://www.onmsft.com/news/teams-meetings-set-to-support-2x...


Thanks, interesting, I'll try it out. I know I convinced my wife to switch to Firefox for Android (for uBlock) and she was complaining even more than I about all of her browsing workflows being crippled.

Compared to her I rarely use my phone for browsing, I do not feel as impacted.
