I tried doing my annual vehicle registration online on FF yesterday and the dmv site kept throwing an error and bringing me back to step 1 when I submit my payment information. Tried turning off all my extensions and still wouldn’t budge. Finally tried it in Chrome and it worked instantly. You’d think government websites of all places would have compatibility with most popular browsers.
Government websites don't care at all about support, most of them were made 15-20 years ago and haven't been updated at all
Well, those will work in Firefox just fine...
dude i work with one that just recently added support for non-internet explorer... major. government. entity. places that are the reason for the required legacy i.e. code in edge.
this government shit is based on 'lowest bidder' mentality.
I have had some luck using a user agent switcher in these cases. Might be worth a shot.
