I dunno… I mean, what are your expectations?

Honestly, some sites just don't want to work properly. Firefox is my main browser. For some reason, Dicks Sporting Goods has like a 50% success rate on whether the page wants to load correctly. I fire up Brave when I'm looking at their website.

Use an extension to spoof your useragent, and it will probably load just fine

If it works intermittently like that it's probably just crap code, and it will be crap in any browser.

No, it's not intermittent; it's useragent specific. There are a lot of websites that will work fine in Chrome or Edge, won't work properly in Firefox, but will work properly in Firefox when you lie and say you're running Chrome

That should be illegal. And punished with public flogging of the persons responsible.
