It works fine for me, with a current FF on Linux (Ubuntu), opening in a new tab. I have lots of extensions enabled.

But I do share your frustration: the modern web seems unusable, unless you have a collection of extensions that block ads, annoying consent forms and the likes. But once you have these extensions installed, you basically lose all support.

Sometimes stuff breaks, and it works in a new profile even with the same extensions installed... and then what? You're supposed to throw away your profile with bookmarks, CAs, years of history etc.?

Its gotten to the point where I have multiple browsers as fallback. FF with lots of essential extensions > Brave with just a few > Unextended Chromium. A necessarily ridiculous state of affairs, but there you have it.

Same for me, but without Brave as a middle ground. I think Firefox even without extensions is less and less supported, sadly.
