Some Kind Of A Milestone. Or A Millstone.

     Firefox and the online version of Outlook have now become so mutually hostile that trying to read my home or work e-mail crashes the browser.

     This usually results in a Firefox update in a week or so that fixes it, but I'm not sure which side drives it.  I have workarounds -- Outlook runing as a standalone, a different browser, or just moving to my Apple-family platforms -- so it's rarely more than a slight inconvenience.  But it's annoying.  The struggle seems to be more bitter and active than even the format-fight between Microsoft Office and upstart LibreOffice, in which the little open-source competitor chases after every change the market-dominating company makes while supporting its own alternatives, the ISO-standard ODF family.

     Presumably, while the word-processing, spreadsheet, etc. market is dominated by Microsoft to the point of effective exclusion of alternatives, browser wars continue, Chrome vs. Edge vs. Firefox vs. whatever, and they continue to actively trip one another up with "improvements."
