I don't know what websites y'all are going to where this is such a commonly reported problem, but I've been using Firefox for over 10 years and I've literally never once seen this problem.
Trying to configure my keyboard through the VIA site. It needs HID and mozilla wont do it because unsafe. I get that it is not so smart to expose your usb devices to your browser but being able to enable it for a session would also be fine...so i had to install chrome.
Yeah only chrome has the webusb support, I use ungoogled chromium whenever I need to use webusb.
Use an extension that spoofs the user agent, usually works fine (for what I came across at least).

There was a period Netflix drm refused to run on Firefox
That has an altogether different kind of solution !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I was merely providing an example, you don't need to convince me :)
but yeah its mostly drm of different kind
Teams forces you to use chrome or their god awful desktop app
Mobilepay app requires you to have chrome installed to login to it
I've had a few that will work on Firefox if not on tor. I know one website (my mortgage company) that specifically asks for "Chrome-based" and lists several such browsers as options.
