bigger problems in life than Fx's shortcomings.
I think you hit the nail on the head. "Your uses are much too simple".
I find that in a lot of things. I wrote software in my years, and if I tested it with a
simple straight forward practice, it worked. Hand it over to the client and they could
easily do some horrid ass-backwards things.
I too don't have issues other than it fails on a few sites.I'm finding that more and more 'secure' websites are simply failing with

Standard practice! When using new software people (me included) do a
lot of flailing, resulting in unpredictable sequences of operations.
NOBODY can predict this weirdness.

This constant harping about "problems" with accessing various
sites/services isn't reflected in average-user experience.
Oh... the First World Is Falling Apart...
Maybe the Ammurican portion is.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was supposed to take a survey before mentioning a problem.-a I'll try to do better in future.

banking, watch videos, and many other activities normal for a web

If you are staying away from Firefox because of the problem you read
about on this forum, you are being mis-lead and missing the use of a
fine web browser.

Sure, along with everyone else.
