I also use Firefox as my daily, but more and more software seems incompatible with it.

For instance, AWS EC2 Global View insists I switch away from Firefox, that's just one example, but there are more.

Anyone know why? I've always viewed Firefox as the de-facto standard, why the recent breakage? Why is it deemed acceptable, by AWS of all orgs?

Since it's got such a low market share, it's much easier to declare your website "not compatible with Firefox" than it is to test on Firefox, even though 99% of sites that claim they're not compatible with Firefox work perfectly as soon as you spoof your user-agent to WebKit.

I'm looking at AWS EC2 Global View now (on Firefox) and am seeing nothing about switching away from Firefox.

ok, interesting. I just checked, as of right now I still very much get the message "Unsupported Browser - In order to provide the best experience we require you use a different browser." So I'm not sure where our configurations differ.

Firefox 95.0.2 64-bit fwiw.

Perhaps Mozilla should create more paid coding positions rather than padding Mitchell Baker's purse. She's sucked a lot of the air out of that organisation.
