There are some web apps that only support chrome on windows (or chrome and edge). An app from my doctor’s office refused to run on FF for a while. Thankfully it now has a “try running on unsupported browser “ link so I’m not blocked. (Let’s not get into why I’m running windows)
chances are high that it will work perfectly fine on firefox. If you come across that again, try changing your user agent string to chrome.
you can use agent switcher from firefox add-on and change your agent to chrome browser or whatever you like.
