With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.
They aren’t “concerned about privacy”, they are “concerned about privacy for the same price”. And they are real cheapskates.
Note: for those who lack the knowledge, the “price” of a free product comes as an overall bugs / features ratio, where “bugs” and “features” are respectively defined as any undesirable / desirable behavior in the use case for the software.
Seriously, not to take anything away from what is does good, but Firefox is littered with bugs. And most websites seem to be optimised for Chrome these days which makes the Firefox experience a bit less nice.
Links or it didn’t happen. Seriously, I have used FF and only FF for the last 15 years and have had zero showstoppers.
Link me some links that work in chrome and not firefox, I wanna see!
I’ve had some instances of wondering why a website doesn’t load or does it’s function properly, usually government websites or application forms, and the issue gets resolved once I do it on Chrome or Edge. It’s not a big deal for me, I daily drive Firefox and have Edge installed for those instances.
It works fine with my Cinnamon window manager. So the bug could be in Firefox, in your WM, in both, or more likely in the integration of two, as a side effect, which why I’ve said “on the edge”. It’s nearly impossible to test your software with every combination of a system. So the solution here to file an issue both for WM and Firefox and hope someone from either communities will solve it. Or just get another browser or WM.

I wonder if you deem Firefox buggy or having not enough features?
Using Firefox since it came out and never experienced any troubles.
Never? Are you only browsing Lemmy and Wikipedia?

Look like a bug on the edge of WM/App

Firefox is free. And respects your privacy.
You should look up what mozilla did with the mr robot extension.
