No idea how MS Teams go these days, but at some point they did do something silly that would break in Firefox, no free pass. Knowing that it doesn’t do anything fancy and that it worked before, it made us very suspicious that this was a targeted move.
The easiest way is by using an add-on. Alternatively, you can change it manually under general.useragent.override in your about:config
Also I swear I’m not trying to be an ass, but entering “how to change user agent string firefox” in your preferred search engine would have gotten you an answer much quicker.
I call bullshit, take the time to readjust and you’ll find replacements. Maybe not as good, but we gotta start somewhere. And this is me hoping you’re talking about some arbitrary devtools.
Yeah, sure, go work in any corporate environment that have to work with outsiders, or even just a slightly large structure, and just tell people “take time to readjust, and you’ll find replacements”.
I’m in a very small structure, and even getting people to ditch Outlook in favor of Thunderbird is impossible because “they can’t work with it”. I know what they do with Outlook, I know they can do it with Thunderbird, but that does not make people magically accept change.
We setup a whole ecosystem of tools, self-hosted, that performs adequately and can handle everything we do. This did not stop management from getting more Teams license.
Wishful thinking is nice as long as you live in a vacuum or are omnipotent. Back in the real, non frictionless world, this takes time, careful preparation, and the slightest bump will throw all efforts out the window.
I’m not even talking about ditching Office 365, I’m talking about ditching Chrome, for Firefox, where O365 works just as well. I don’t even mind O365 in corporate environments. It simplifies things. I do mind it for my personal stuff though.
There’s very little friction for a non tech-savvy person to ditch Chrome for Firefox as long as you help them transfer their passwords and bookmarks. The biggest complaint will be “it looks different”, which sure can be a no go. There should be even less friction for a tech-savvy person.
It’s a real shame industry doesn’t embrace firefox. There’s far too many things i rely on which only runs on chromium.
Change your user-agent string and what do you know they magically all work in Firefox, wow

How do you do that?

Use Vivialdi then at least.
