Everything worked perfectly as it always does.
No, Firefox doesn't have bugs with your store. Your store has bugs.

firefox has a lot of bugs with our store
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? :)
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...
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.
"yeah lets just ask our customers to switch browser instead of fixin our website. That will get the job done" I wonder how they came up with this
I build websites, and even when we supported Internet explorer 6, my company wouldn't allow us to display a message like this. Anyone who ever developed a website for IE6 would know that if it were ever appropriate to display such a message, it was for IE6. It was atrocious beyond words. They ignored most of the standards and the browser was also just a security nightmare, yet still just on principle alone the idea was always shot down.
But my ActiveX applets!
Java applets 4 life!
