Why are sites no longer working on Firefox?

I am finding more and more sites that I regularly go to are no longer working on firefox. One site was because HTML5 apparently does not work on firefox. But others I don't know about why are no longer working on firefox. I thought it might be streaming related but just today I could not access one of my banks on firefox, and I tried many times, but had no problem signing on using Chrome.

HTML5 used in what way as in say for video, audio or games?. Many websites have used HTML5 for video for over a decade now even with sites like Youtube and Twitch being among the first major sites to have html5 players instead of only Flash at time. Mozilla even had a HTML5 game called BrowserQuest started back in 2012 that worked just fine in Firefox.

Reboot the computer into Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.

You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works, you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Or I could just switch to another browser that is actually working.
