Hey @trizinix, I fully understand and agree with your sentiment. History sure has a way of repeating itself. As one of the devs on the team who is primarily a Firefox user I feel this everyday. The primary reason we don’t support Firefox is due to our usage of custom scrollbars: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77790#c188

You can vote for this issue on our Wishlist to help get Firefox support prioritized on our roadmap: https://wishlist.webflow.com/ideas/WEBFLOW-I-17

(Fwiw the published sites from Webflow do fully support Firefox, just the Designer itself does not.)

View on HN

I usually don't post seemingly pedantic comments on HN, but I have to call you out here. You guys are blocking users from using your application in Firefox because of scrollbar colors? That seems like a terrible choice given it is probably alienating a good chunk of potential users.

On that note, can a screenshot be provided in Firefox with the Webflow designer, provided the code functions? If it's really just a scrollbar issue, and the UI is that bad according to the Bugzilla comment, can we see how it looks?

Here's a little screen capture of what Webflow looks like in Firefox https://cl.ly/3J0c2v2Y093O — the scrollbar causes quite a few issues with layout, but also we have to take into account the fact it's also a different width, which doesn't play nicely with drag 'n drop.

What would HN be without pedanticism? ‍️¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We’re also more than just “guys”.

Well people: it's "pedantry" and you ought to support Firefox without people voting on a roadmap. I mean I feel an Ed Reardon scale rant coming on...but no...gone.

most people aren't going to get the ed reardon reference.

Do you folks need a custom scrollbar? Is it functional in any way?
