Tell me about it. I normally use Seamonkey (a Firefox variant),
but even the latest Firefox didn't work.

I can do most of my online banking with Seamonkey/Firefox, but when
trying to activate a new credit card I got halfway into a set of
screens that I don't normally access, and things just hung.
I decided I might as well waste as much of the bank's time as they
were wasting of mine, so I went down to my local branch and managed
to get a supervisor. The first thing he did was ask me which
browser I was using. I told him I was using Firefox, and he said,
"Never heard of it." (!)
He turned around his terminal so I could get at it, and I went through
the same steps as I had tried at home. Naturally, since it was running
their anointed browser (Microsoft Edge), everything went smoothly.
I pointed out that this is a form of discrimination, and left the bank
muttering things about digital racism. Since the supervisor wasn't
Caucasian, this had a gratifying effect.
