Well, they seem to have plenty of resources available to rewrite their browser in Rust, to develop a mobile operating system, to make a version of Firefox for virtual reality (!!) …
… it seems possible, at least, that some of those resources are capable of being applied to their vast backlog of bugs. But who knows?
I couldn’t say. I regularly use neither the Less Wrong website (I do my LW browsing/commenting/etc. via GreaterWrong) nor Firefox (which I use only for testing purposes).
Have you reported this bug to the Less Wrong development team?
Do you know anything about whether that’s a “mozilla lacks resources” thing or a “mozilla is actively dysfunctional” thing?”

Is this why lesswrong doesn’t work on firefox? (Voting specifically.)
Voting should work on Firefox and if it doesn’t that is surprising and bad. Do you have any kind of noscript plugins running by any chance?
(Note that there are some general bugs re: voting aggregation that are not Firefox specific that we are working on)

No, so I checked to see if it’s still an issue before doing so, and it isn’t.
