Websites dropping Firefox as a useable browser?!?

Is this something to be concerned about with future sites, or is this an unfortunate, isolated incident? One of my local utility companies is not going to be supporting the use of Firefox on their website any longer. Has anyone else seen anything like this on other sites, or has this been brought up elsewhere? Frankly I find it outrageous and is forcing me and others to use Chromium based browsers (aside from Safari which I don't use).

  • I emailed the company asking for an explanation, and I'm awaiting a reply.

I would share the URL for others to email and help press the company on the issue, but wasn't sure of the guidelines of the forum or if that was appropriate. I'm just irritated and venting sorry =/

@jonzn4SUSE it wasn't a non-issue, it was a question that I was asking the community, and the first I ever actually posted in the community forums. Thanks for the prompt and polite response, perhaps the Reddit forums are more informative and helpful as it's clearly the first I've seen and don't understand the context of "Big corp has made a decision" and was looking for something a little more insightful than being told to simply mark my question as resolved by someone that provided no context to my inquiry But yes, you have a nice day as well, I'll wait for others to respond for more insight, I have faith that the Mozilla community is a bit more informative and polite than that, best wishes.

Not the first and won't be the last. Just use whatever tool gets the job done and move on. Big corp has made a decision... end of story. Mark this non issue as resolved and have a nice day.
