The issue could be with firefox - I have found a few things are now not working properly with firefox. If it is working with 1 browser and not another, I would be tending towards the browser not doing what it is supposed to do

It could be due to a bug or difference in behavior in FF. It could be due to the code using a feature that doesn’t exist in FF. Nevertheless, it is the job of the web developer to make the site work with all major browsers (if at all possible) instead of leaving it to the end user to figure out what is going on and find a workaround (switch browser, which may not be possible depending on corporate policies). That is especially true if your website is trying to sell goods or services to the end user.

It is the responsibility of those that maintain the browsers to ensure that the browser complies with standards
At the moment I have 3 sites that I use, where firefox doesm't work properly (but does with Chrome and Edge) which suggests to me that there are problems with current version of ifrefox

Interesting that Chrome worked for you. I have tried Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Hamburger menu not functional in any of them. Also tried Safari on an iPad and it does not work there either.

This is what you get for cheap outsourced IT and website development...
I regularly see this issue, as well as intermittently not being able to log in with the site just sitting there. Today I'm having to reload pages multiple times to get it to actually load and work properly.

Too bad, they actually had become a reasonable rental company a few years ago, after lagging all their competitors for years.
