We did this on ourselves. As everyone was laughing at Internet Explorer, another behemoth was overtaking IE and nothing was in their way.

Mozilla (Firefox) was our chance for something different. They were ahead of IE once but they watched on and did nothing whilst they had their pockets lined up with Google's money and allowed them (Google) to overtake everyone and now everyone is complaining about it. It even goes back before Chrome was a thing when the Mozilla CEO declared that they could move away from depending on Google's money. [0] Now 14+ years later, they are still unable to do so.

Since then it is only Google (Chrome) and Apple (Safari) again, just like for Android and iOS. All other attempts at stopping them was a complete failure like Firefox OS was and now Mozilla and Firefox are the ones fizzling out of existence as they are unable to make money as the majority of users are running to Chrome, Brave, Edge and Vivaldi.

It is no wonder websites are beginning to not only break on Firefox, but also tell or block users from their web apps to instead use Chrome.

I can't remember the last time I saw a website that was broken specifically on Firefox, maybe like 2009 era perhaps?

I have a website that relies on a quirk of Chrome’s rendering, which leads to scrolling not being handled the way I want in Firefox.

Browser compatibility bugs absolutely exist.
