Here are the (currently three) open Firefox issues with SMC:

   https://github.com/sagemathinc/smc/labels/A-firefox

Not only is Firefox + Jupyter disabled in SMC (due to massive corruption it
will cause to Jupyter notebooks), but in fact, any time you visit SMC using
Firefox for any purpose, there is a big message in the upper right
suggesting to using any other browser instead of Firefox.  There are
massive performance issues due to (known reported with test cases for over
a year) issues with the flex layout implementation in Firefox.

Yes, but I can't tell you when.

During the month of October, before we had an explicitly message saying not
to use Firefox, almost 15% of visitors to the SMC website used Firefox.
