@aral Why the hell would I want to use Firefox on a Mac, when there are so many better, way faster und more intuitive and elegant alternatives (like Safari or Arc). That all work with iCloud. Which makes me wonder: perhaps it’s Firefox that is to blame?

@dgavin It’s a web app made by web developers at Apple who – get this – broke the backspace key.

Now that takes talent.

I haven’t encountered a single web app (any web app, not just one made by a trillion-dollar corporation) that managed that since the birth of the web (yes, I’m that old).

(Also, there’s a world outside of Appleland. I was running the web app in a web browser on my Linux machine.)

@aral Funny you mention that. I regularly get that kind of error in SharePoint or in office365 web. And I‘m old enough to have debugged HTML code in 1994. I know a bit about the matter. If something doesn’t work in only one browser it’s usually the browsers fault. If it doesn’t work in most browser engines it’s the website’s fault.

@dgavin Oh, I wouldn’t know about Microsoft stuff. I’m not a masochist :)

@aral I avoid it where I can too, but unfortunately when you work at an university you have to sometimes use MS shit. It feels like everytime I have to my life span is cut by a few days…
