  Yeah, I can’t remember the last time I had to do anything to “fix” Firefox.

  My only issue with Firefox is some extensions get a little fussy in-between updates, but it seems to be a Linux issue more than a Firefox one.

  And my problem is most definitely a skill issue.

    It’s also objectively less secure than Chromium, which is hard to admit.

      On what objective measures?

        The big one is task (thread) isolation. Let me dig up some sources and get back to you,

  I was running into a blue screen ONLY when using Firefox.

  A month later, I decided to make sure one of my memory sticks was fully seated. Issue resolved.

  Yeah, Firefox works fine for me, problem is a good number of websites on the modern web just actually do not work correctly on Firefox because theyre designed by lazy morons.

  Sometimes this can be fixed by just spoofing it and presenting as chrome, other times not.

    I have been using firefox for close to ten years and somehow I never encountered a website that didn’t work at all.

      Only crappy websites cause problems, and unless it’s something you really need, why bother?

      It depends on what websites you frequent. The vast majority work fine (though they are still heavily optimized for Chrome and not much else), but there are some exceptions like publishers of educational material or other websites with overzealous ideas of web based DRM. I’ve seen some banners that straight up tell you “You need to upgrade to a proper browser” and then link to the Chrome installer…

        Yeah, its not that the entire website won’t work, it’ll be some vital part of it.

        Various Federal and State and Local government websites will have a captcha that just doesn’t load, or have a search map or filter system that bugs out and doesn’t work.

        Happens with a good number of slapdash apartment websites too, and some smaller businesses.

        Theres a few things I have to regularly use that just do not actually work on Firefox so I have to keep Chrome around… =(

        Government websites also seem to like locking into either Chrome or Edge
