alt Hacker NewsHi Peter, Firefox Enterprise looks very interesting and like most people here I hope it'll work!
Speaking of working, in my experience, there is a considerable number of enterprise websites and web applications out there that don't work well or not at all(!) in Firefox. (Prime example: outlook.office365.com hasn't worked for me in years – I always end up in a redirect loop unless I clear all cookies, and I heard the same story from others.) Needless to say, such issues might cause new Firefox users to switch back to Chrome/Edge rather quickly. (A friend of mine recently stopped using Firefox for his work because of that.)
Any idea what to do about this? Of course with AI one could go as far as adding a "Report this site doesn't work in Firefox" button that magically sends a report (+ suggested fix) to the people operating the website/app. But I can think of dozens of reasons why this wouldn't work well at all (let alone be a good idea) in practice…

Not sure if you're aware, but this button does actually exist in the help menu, at least for getting a public report filed. I looked through our tracker and didn't find any report similar to yours though (..and Office365 has a ton of webcompat bugs on file...), so I'd recommend you and "others" to actually file those bugs.
Finding and fixing those bugs in websites (unless they're behind a login that you can't easily sign up for) typically isn't the issue, but getting ahold of the site owner sometimes is.
If we can't get ahold of the website operator, or they're slow or unwilling to fix it, we can ship compatibility shims in the browser.
Take a look at about:compat to get some idea.
