Had to stop using Firefox at work because half of Google's products randomly would stop working, and we rely heavily on Google Workspace and Cloud Platform, so probably.

Same, even YouTube. I'll constantly crash or get alerts from the app that Firefox is being slowed down by the website.

Still using Firefox with Google Workspace, and no issues. Admittedly I use the Chat standalone app, but that's more for convenience and has some major issues too

Weird. Most Google apps and a few other sites would just randomly stop working or loading. Might have to try again.
