Any update on this?

[softvision-oana-arbuzov]

Unfortunately, no changes yet.

Perhaps a user agent override should be added? They really don't seem to care about Firefox at all which is a huge shame.

But you have compatible Apple ID to tests, maybe Apple added many other shames to exclude Firefox?

Wouldn't it still be better to have it work for the most part than not work at all?

[krystian3w]

But I mean, is there any trap in the application that a change of UA after login does not work longer?

My Apple ID is not assigned to a rare company, so I can't check if e.g. the page after login doesn't crash/broken - because it's based on Blink/Webkit compatible CSS and there's no firefox for emergency support of not recommended Chromium Blink/Apple WebKit syntax.
