Is there a reason why? Less funding? Web devs don’t make the pages Firefox friendly? Since the user base is smaller, they just don’t care?

    The number of people who act like that is negligible. We tested for that.

    We don’t see it as that we are sloppy but that Firefox is not a good browser. We came to that conclusion because no other browser acts like that.

      Don’t you think that it may be because Firefox is pretty much the only browser using a different engine that Chromium? There are literally two major browser engines, and you’re developing for one them. Ofc everything else will act like Chromium, because they are Chromium for the most part.

        That’s all really nice. But the fact is, we use what works. It’s a pragmatic decision. They’re are so few Firefox users and on the end issues are not very common.

      Your views seem to be very narrow despite being a developer.

              That my view is narrow

              Yes. Your view is narrow. You do not care about the technical details and just label Firefox as “bad/broken” because you do not know how to work with it. That is a pretty narrow view. You do not care about the idealogical reasons that people bring up in here either.

              and that developers somehow can’t have narrow views.

              I am expecting a person that is talented enough to be a developer to not have narrow views.

                That’s a strawman. It is not like that at all and I never said it was. I even specifically said that I know the reason it is like it is. I do know how to work with it. And no, I have an ideology, something I mentioned many times : I’m a pragmatist.

                Many developers have narrow views. Probably most have.
