@darius @darth_mall While I wonder why the app does not work in Firefox πŸ€” the larger question is, why does the support forum, only work in Chromium.

It would be good to understand that and file a compact bug on webcompat.com

@schalkneethling @darth_mall the developer (I believe it is maintained by a single person) says "As of 2022-04 Firefox has less than 4% of the browser market share and therefore supporting it is not worth the effort."

Thread here, along with pushback on that number (only viewable on chrome lol): boxy-svg.com/questions/376/fir

It seems like they just don't want to support more than one rendering engine

@darth_mall @schalkneethling this developer writes everything from scratch including their forum software. it's one of the reasons Boxy is so performant -- no framework bloat. they ended up writing their forum software inside Boxy itself, probably because as a bit of an "outsider" developer it is easier for them to maintain. frankly I don't blame them for that.

@darius @darth_mall 😞 That is so unfortunate and not good for the web ecosystem. Thanks for the additional info, Darius.
