Everything worked perfectly as it always does.
No, Firefox doesn’t have bugs with your store. Your store has bugs.
“Firefox’s privacy features interferes with our trackers”
“Morningwitch”
Correction: your store has a lot of known bugs with Firefox
“Hey there, we can’t build a functional website, but just go ahead and give us your email address. MK?”
That’s a very weird of saying “we use a lot of non-standard code practices in our software”.
“We haven’t figured out how to violate Firefox user privacy protocols yet, so just go ahead and switch to the browser we can easily exploit. K? That cool?”
Classy to blame Firefox for bugs in their code :)
If devs write code for Chrome, yeah, maybe then it doesn’t work in Firefox guys…
We had exactly this situation in the 90s with internet Explorer… But new devs need to relearn lessons of course.
It was different in the case of IE though. It was actually atrocious and not standards compliant in many many ways.
Today, chrome and FF both support standards fairly well and when things don’t work in FF it’s usually either that you wrote fragile code, or there’s a slight difference from chrome that technically isn’t a standards compliance issue. Testing in both of those browsers isn’t hard and should be the norm. I’ve had projects where I had to test in IE, chrome windows, chrome android, FF, safari Mac, safari iPad OS, and safari iOS all at the same time. And yes there are differences between those last two, because apple makes a shitty web browser.
If you can’t test in two browsers, you’re just a bad web developer…
It’s probably all the new generation of programmers/management - you would think they would listen to the lessons passed down but… Nope.
Depressingly, the message that GHG emissions are heating up the planet has been passed down for over a hundred years now. People just aren’t very good with passed down messages in general.

Well, I think you got that backwards.
Hey would you be willing to pass the site you found this on so we can all studiously avoid it? :)
The URL is in the picture.
Firefox has a “bug” that makes our tracking code not work. Please switch to Chrome so we can track you.
Went there just now and did not get a pop up. Firefox does not detect any trackers.
Tried it just now, didn’t get an error either.
At least they seem to be working on it. Directing Firefox users to use a different browser in the mean time, temporarily, seems reasonable even if the language on that popup is a bit imprecise.
I did try adding a shirt to the cart and yeah, it added the wrong size. I’d have to switch to chrome to successfully complete an order at the moment. It’s unfortunate, but as long as they’re trying to fix it I don’t see any point in feeling outraged.

As a software developer, if just trying to add a single item to a cart is buggy, then that’s definitely something to feel outraged about, software development wise (not literally outraged, but definitely a strong “WTF!?” response).
It’s actually really amazing that a bug would manifest in one browser and not another, when just adding an item to a cart. You have to work really hard to make something like that not work correctly.
Yeah seriously, what is so special about what they’re doing here that it has a browser-specific bug?
This isn’t like 20 years ago where browsers had tons of experimental and custom extensions to HTML and JavaScript in them. It’s all standard now.
It’s all standard now.
The reason Microsoft surrendered to Google and adopted Chromium is they couldn’t keep up with Google’s changes to standards and proprietary extensions.
I wouldn’t feel safe entering my credit card information into a site that can’t even support Firefox, those are just the bugs they’re willing to tell you about…
How is a function like adding an item to an array failing from one browser to another??
The bug is they can’t track you well enough
“a lot of known bugs”
Our storefront was coded with bloated javascript, runs like shit, and Chrome and Edge are good at hiding how bad it is :)
I’ve tested Firefox’s performance recently and it’s gotten super close to Blink/V8 in terms of performance, it even works better than those on my machine. So even if the website is coded like a turd there ain’t much reason anymore it wouldn’t work perfectly fine on Firefox
Unless you’re doing something really fucked with the code that I can’t think of right now

Same. In fact, I originally switched back to Firefox on my personal machine specifically because Chrome was making my laptop sound like an airplane taking off, even with only a single tab open. After the switch, I was able to open multiple tabs and even run other programs at the same time without a problem.
Come for the speed, stay for the privacy.

Remember the Internet Explorer domination?
This seems like like a perfect opportunity to visit your competitors website!
