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

    Unfortunately there really are websites that don't work in Firefox. Not a nice list, but issues should be reported here: https://webcompat.com/issues?page=1&per_page=50&state=open&stage=all&sort=updated&direction=desc&q=label%3Abrowser-firefox%20usable

    Personally, I have been using Firefox for years and will continue using it.

    Firefox also has a builtin list of overrides at about:compat

    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.
