I love Firefox. Love it.

But I keep coming across sites that don't function properly with it. Is this Firefox's fault? No - Firefox follows standards nicely. But growing numbers of sites don't, and this is a big problem at a micro and macro level.

Chrome seems to have such a foothold that it is getting away with embrace/extend/extinguish and I think it's a very sad thing.

That was Internet Explorer 20 years ago and look where we are now.

I personally can't remember the last time I had issues with a site on Firefox in the last few years since I switched.

Discord and spotify web versions don’t work on Firefox for me. On discord in can’t connect to a call and Spotify doesn’t play songs or it takes a long time after pressing play for the song to start playing.

Both work flawlessly for me. In fact, discord on Firefox works much better than the standalone app specifically for calls.

Sounds to me like something is broken or misconfigured on your system.
