Firefox is a viable and popular browser and has been for years. Unit Contact will not complete when the Finish button is pressed. The contact is not being saved. The Profile picture is not displaying after application shutdown and restart. Issues with some courses in Scouting U have been observed. This is not a new issue and has been observed since the major changes started around year ago.
Have you verified that the same issues occur in a private browsing/incognito window? I routinely use Firefox at training.scouting and only occasionally have I run into issues, typically related to a plugin.
The supported browsers are Chrome, Edge, and Safari.

Charley - thank you. I do not use extensions for that reason. This is a standard Firefox installation. I know some of the issues come from Mozilla coding as there is no reason for a Google login prompt to be displayed (and no way to turn it off) every time I open my.scouting.
Ronald - why the browser restrictions? The only reason I know of is that the coders are using browser specific code rather than sticking to browser neutral coding. Granted, it provides a little performance improvement but it also tends to leave a lot of files on the system (performance killers on the local system) when the browsers shut down. Edge doesn’t even take itself out of memory once it is closed! Google and MS have a history of scraping systems for all kinds of data and I believe in protecting what little privacy is left to us.
Jack -
Unfortunately, Firefox does not comply with modern browsing standards. This has been the standard since My.Scouting was launched in 2015. (Edge obviously added later after it had been tested and vetted.)
