I use sheets in Firefox literally every day.

Yeah, Firefox works on everything right now. I have not opened chrome in ages, could easily have been a year since I have needed it.

If you scroll down past the browser version checkboxes (I’ve ticked the right ones for you) and list of features FireFox supports, you’ll find a very long list of web features that don’t work (or don’t work properly) in FireFox.

Some of them are pretty important features and there are sites that use them. Pretty sure Google Sheets uses the Filesystem stuff for example - it “works” in FireFox but not as well as in Chrome.

What this article is about is unless FireFox’s marketshare trend reverses, websites are going to stop including workarounds specifically for FireFox users. They’ll just let the site be broken in that browser.

And people don’t use it because they assume it doesn’t work. Turns out it works fine and perhaps licking googles boots isn’t necessary.

I have no idea what google sheets can do when loaded in chrome but it works just fine in Firefox with the couple of sheets I have, one of them is rather complex with a bunch of muli-table vlookups and nested conditions. This thing washing your fucking dishes when you run it in chrome?

I’ve had some add-ons break, but I’ve never had any issues with sheets itself either. Wonder what issues the other guy’s been having

I always get annoyed by the copy paste thing. I can’t remember which way it goes but you either can’t copy paste with the mouse or with Ctrl c/v. That’s the only thing that bugs me about FF and sheets.
