Two out of three banks/financial institutions that I deal with have said in the past week that if I want to use their websites, I should use Google Chrome. They don't outright say that they don't support Firefox, but that I will "get better results" if I use Google Chrome. Better results, like being able to login to their website (Bank 1: infinite reload of login page), or accessing some of their page (Bank 2: Some pages work, some say I have to sign in when I'm already signed in).
The communications with these banks occurred in the past week (Bank 1), and today (Bank 2). This was after months of their websites not working in Firefox.
While trying to use the bank websites: Windows 11, one year-old computer. Latest version of Firefox, 64 bit (150.0.0, then 150.0.1), "refreshened", cache cleared, cookies and site data cleared, Enhanced protection off, and Troubleshooting Mode off. Everything possible that can be done.
If banks don't want to make their websites usable with any browser other than Google Chrome, I can hate that, but I don't have a choice. I've used and recommended Firefox from its beginnings, but now I will have to give it up.
Maybe there is an easy way to keep everything synchronized between Firefox and Google Chrome so I can use one or the other in different situations, but it is frustrating for that to be necessary. There are other websites that I've encountered that have problems working with Firefox, but they were not necessary websites to use.
