    From the same company that intentionally degrades the quality of Google Maps on Firefox.

      Really? Do you have a source for that?

        Plenty of them if you just search. Not sure about maps, but I’ve read this multiple times about YouTube on FF from reputable sources

          Cant find sources for that.

          Best I found was Firebug’s own fault.

          And I have been using Firefox for eternity
