    This is an especially common problem on Android. I have found many sites whose mobile version simply does not work in Firefox. It’s very frustrating.

      I also feel their number grew in the last year. I’ve recently tried using Mull again (mobile firefox privacy-focused fork) after using Bromite for a year, and it was so unbearable I had to switch back. I’d say I had less websites that worked than ones that did not

        Unfortunately tracker blocking can lead to even more issues as many sites have started relying on it for basic functionality.

      Have you got an example I can test? I switched to Firefox mobile over a year ago and I can’t think of any time I’ve come across a site that didn’t work.

        The most recent issue I had was Birds and Beans “manage subscription” page so I don’t think you can test that without a coffee subscription. But here is a screenshot:

          This isn’t Firefoxs fault though, is it? Just a bad Website putting arbitrary restrictions in place

            Not Firefox’s fault at all. Just a website not following web standards.
