But here is the rub. Firefox has been dumped by so many
people over this issue, that it is no longer a serious choice
for anyone who wants a broadly compatible browser.
Is it, though? So many people just use whatever came pre-installed on
their system. If it's Windows, it was IE (and it's descendents). Mac
and iPhones, Safari. Android phones, Google. Personally, I'd put a
lot of that page's stats down to more and more people using mobile
phones than PCs.
Chrome is not preinsalled, yet it get the gets over 70% of
market. NOw mind you , the folks doing the measurements
can't tell oe Blink browser from another, so they all
get called Chrome.
If a site they want to use fails with their browser, they may try
installing another. Chance are, though, that they'll give up and try
another website.
Yes. The days of one browser are gone. I finding
myself using Firefox for certain things, Brave for
others, and weird old Vivaldi for yet others.
And in the Windows world, on new machines, I remove the
Edge icons and install IE icons. Edge is atrocious.
I also install Firefox and Brave, some times Vivaldi.
That's the info you need to take home. While you're saying, at the
moment, Firefox is failing you/them, when it comes to badly authored
websites, that goalpost changes with their unassociated website and
web-browser updates. Next week, their stuff-ups may shut-out the
browser that was previously working.
I tell them to use Firefox first, as I do, then Brave if it
does not fork in Firefox. I import Firefox's profile into
Brave so the have their bookmarks and password words in both.
If you want things to work, you have to do it right, in the first
place.
It is amazing to me how many Windows users dump Edge so
quickly for Chrome.
It is sad that there are still some websites that require
IE, especially since Active X is such a security hazard.
