Managing My Bibliography in NCBI on linux: Use Chromium, not Firefox unfortunately

Several times I’ve tried to resolve conflicts and otherwise edit “My Bibliography” on NIH National Library of Medicine’s NCBI system (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) using Firefox on Debian linux. It has never worked. It just sits there, indicating that it is doing something, but never proceeding, confirming, or finishing.
Today I tried it on on Chromium from Debian’s repository and it worked quickly without a problem. I wish web programmers, especially those in public institutions would not use browser specific features, locking users into particular platforms.
