I'm just so fucking furious at how every company I work for ONLY supports Chrome (and by relationship, Edge). And as soon as I get issues using Firefox their response is "we don't support Firefox".

Like what the fuck???

Our company just installed a proxy system on our PCs that fucked everything up in Firefox and when I called IT for help, that was their response.

Hard to argue with them not wanting to support a browser that only makes up 3.3% of browsers used worldwide. Actually, it's probably not even their decision, but the decision of some higher ups that want to save development or software cost.

You might try convincing them by polling how many people in your company wants to use Firefox, though. There could be a significant enough proportion of you guys that do.

There is no fucking way Firefox is that unpopular, but actually yeah it's trivial to argue that browser choice is hanging by a thread and it's not a good thing

A lot of Linux Distros seem to have Firefox telemetry disabled by default (even the minimal, one-time ping, telling Mozilla to know there is another user), so that might be skewing some of the stats.
