Everything worked perfectly as it always does.

Hey would you be willing to pass the site you found this on so we can all studiously avoid it? :)
"Hey there, we can't build a functional website, but just go ahead and give us your email address. MK?"
That's a very weird of saying "we use a lot of non-standard code practices in our software".
"We haven't figured out how to violate Firefox user privacy protocols yet, so just go ahead and switch to the browser we can easily exploit. K? That cool?"
Correction: your store has a lot of known bugs with Firefox
What're you buying there, potions?
I found this site from a blog recommending a few brands. They didn't have what I wanted but the fact I was greeted by this was good enough to screenshot.
Potion seller, give me your strongest potions
Here you go friend: https://www.piped.video/watch?v=7JYJhWIwGUw
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Thank you, my robotic friend! I thank you from all of us.
"a lot of known bugs"
Our storefront was coded with bloated javascript, runs like shit, and Chrome and Edge are good at hiding how bad it is :)
I've tested Firefox's performance recently and it's gotten super close to Blink/V8 in terms of performance, it even works better than those on my machine. So even if the website is coded like a turd there ain't much reason anymore it wouldn't work perfectly fine on Firefox
Unless you're doing something really fucked with the code that I can't think of right now

Same. In fact, I originally switched back to Firefox on my personal machine specifically because Chrome was making my laptop sound like an airplane taking off, even with only a single tab open. After the switch, I was able to open multiple tabs and even run other programs at the same time without a problem.
Come for the speed, stay for the privacy.
Or you're deliberately making it slow when you detect someone visiting your site from Firefox
Thanks, YouTube
Hey at least they apologize! 🤣
"We are sorry, as a customer, you don't live up to our standards"
Everyone browse that website and when they see the traffic all using firefox. They will get the message.
Quite the opposite - no one browse that site because it's not standards compliant and/or privacy compliant.
Best of all worlds: browse the site, create an order, don't purchase anything.
"Why are all of these people abandoning their cart?"
"I don't know, but they're all Firefox users."
"Ugh, friggin nerds"
Absolutely no capitalization? That always makes me back away. You can't even be bothered to make a proper sentence?
It's a writing style. I like it. I even turn off auto-capitalization on my phone keyboard so my chats are all lowercase.
Chiming in to say that I agree with you! Texting in lowercase just feels right to me, especially with friends and family.
I don't agree with you. But damn. you're downvoted for doing what you like.
- Just visited the site with FF, and got no such error. It's a Shopify site, and I'm sceptical.
- If it's a typical Shopify SBO, it could easily be a single person - the owner - working out of their house. There is no developer, except those employed by Shopify.
The owner probably populated the store themselves; the entirety rest of their computer experience brobably consists of browsing Wiccan forums, Instagram, and Twitter. And yet, they figured out how to open an online shop and start a business doing something they're passionate about.
Educated guesses, but poking around a bit on the site & following links gives good evidence this person is a person, not a company, and doesn't employ anyone, much less programmers.
And I've never had a Shopify site pop up a message like this. I think OP hit a fluke, or a MITM, or (most likely) has a virus.
I just visited with FF and got the error. Looking at the console, Firefox complains about some cookies misusing specific site attributes and actively rejects some cookies from that website entirely. That might be the source of the issue with the site's "developer."
This is the laziest dev work. And somehow they've convinced the owner that this is fine and got paid.
if you can't even be arsed to fix your website i certainly can't be arsed to buy from you
Imagine being this petty.
Remember when shopping sites didn't need 200mb of javascript libraries to work?
"firefox has known bugs with our store"
it's not my fault you have trouble with designers
also brb bookmarking that site
That disclaimer announcement just screams lazy IT, or general management by your side.
There are a few features that FF doesn't have that chrome does, but it mostly involves video streaming. Adblocking is likely the reason though.
Source: am front end dev
My bet is that FF has some privacy and/or adblocking features that this company doesn't like.
Remember the Internet Explorer domination?
