    The teams web app was borked for me on Firefox at one point. Idk if it’s still like that. Also Google Chat or whatever tf it’s called now disables a bunch of features on Firefox.

    Still worth it to switch. 99% of websites work just fine. They basically have to intentionally design sites to not work with FF.

      Ah yes wtf is Teams doing!? Some arbitrary features are blocked on Firefox, like you can’t direct call someone but you can be part of a group call 🤪

      But I don’t think Microsoft’s online suite is a reference, most of it feels buggy or bloated at best.

        Makes sense since the browser microsoft pushes on it’s users is chrome based.

        Just spoof the user agent and it works fine.

      Those are literally restrictions placed by the site in question, not a limitation of Firefox. Get a user agent changer, and set the user agent to the “required” browser, and magically it will work!

      When I was using Firefox I felt like spoofing user agent was essential to make websites work the way they were supposed to. I could loose some rounded corners here and there but it was still better that some features completely missing
