Why can't I access the site?!

Ok, why did they not say so when the blocked access to the site for other browsers then?

Ask to them

I’ve provided all the links where it’s explained why they’ve choose to deactivate Firefox browsers for which version is lower than 89, I can’t give more information than what is already provided for public

On my side, with SeaMonkey based on version 68 of Firefox, text editor is not working properly.
I won’t test all browsers to check on which web engine/version they’re based on

Here you can find why this check has been introduced:

• And bug on forum seems related to the impossibility to use text editor to format text:
  Text editor is not working in Firefox 78? - #16 by sam - support - Discourse Meta

It’s a choice of developers not because they want to force you to use a branded browser, but because they consider a known bug in Firefox prior to version 89 is problematic for Discourse functionality and they prefer to ask people to use a version of Firefox (and then all derivated borwser) for which the bug has been fixed rather than trying to develop a workaround to specific version of buggy browsers

I understand that and I already noticed this bug the other day. However: text formatting did work in the past, so the FF bug surely isn’t the only reason. In fact it’s a choice of the developers, to use newer functions that are unsupported or buggy on older browser versions. I think, it’s a sign of our times that constantly things that aren’t broken, get “fixed” - just because… new. And it’s getting on my nerves…

Sorry for the rant. And thanks for posting the info, Grum.

And your test is confirmed with user agent for FF 103.

P.S. I edited the title.
