I know of Netflix that doesn't support Firefox for some reason (last time I tried) but what other websites don't work in Firefox? I'm using Firefox (+uBlock Origin) as my daily driver and everything seems to work fine for me.

Netflix works fine for me in FF, but you will get a prompt to enable EME (DRM) on first visit on linux.

For some reason, Key Bank won't let me login using Firefox unless I spoof my user agent. They claim it's due to security issues with the browser. This is more of an active check though. when I pretend to be Chrome using as different user agent in a container, everything works fine.

Also, ADP (timesheets and paycheck system) frequently breaks for Firefox. Sometimes it just won't load any of its forms or grids when I'm using Firefox. I think they only test with Chrome.

Stop encouraging this behavior and cancel your service, then.

Was the last time you checked like 10 years ago? Haven't seen this happen in quite some time.

I'm not going to cancel my banking account and move to a different bank just because they don't want me accessing their website with a particular browser. It's not a big deal to bypass it and it's far more of a hassle to switch.

No, ADP was broken for Firefox just a few months ago. My workplace is on the ESR release channel, so maybe it broke for the slightly older ESR version of Firefox?

Netflix does work in Firefox now, though 4K playback in browser is still limited to Edge or Safari.

netflix worked fine for my last time i checked on firefox. unless something changed in the last few months it's fine
