    Try user agent switcher. More often than not, websites work just fine with firefox but refuse to load when the browser identifies as not-fascist-google-trash.

          I wish Mozilla would use some of their millions to bring a class action lawsuit against sites that pointlessly lock people out just because they’re not using Chrome/Safari/Edge.

            These companies typically have management take the IT advice from their IT managers, and if those intentionally block non Windows/Google/fascist software, you don’t find anyone in the organization willing to listen to you. The only way to fight this is by not doing business with them whenever avoidable.
