    I use Firefox 51 at work which is my 'personal account' browser to send messages through. I use the web site of course which works most of the time, but often the SMS pushes can be around 5 minutes or more delayed. I also RARELY get responses sent to Firefox, but that is okay since my Android Wear gets them anyway.

    As a test, I installed the Chrome extension and it worked much faster and better, but it has an issue with dual accounts. My job uses Google Webapps for their domain so I have to stay logged into Chrome with that. When I log my personal account it though Join, it worked great, but then insisted on asking for permissions for my work account which I kept telling it to deny but it kept prompting.

    I would prefer much better to use Firefox if I could since it auto destructs my logins upon close and I like to keep it that way.

    Unfortunately Firefox is not supported right now, sorry. It's missing a key feature that makes Join not possible to run on it: push messaging support. Sorry to disappoint!

    Actually he is talking about the Join WEB site, I believe, not the experimental Firefox extension.
    I agree with his point about the Join WEBSITE having some issues, and it doesn't matter if you use Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari, you would notice it.

    As an update - They updated the browser to Firefox 52 (Funnelcake Onboarding).
    The issues seem to be increasing where sync will randomly break. I had a message on my phone saying I had to create an API or recreate it right in the middle of successful texting this morning, several went through, then it stopped with that message. I had to log back into the website to fix that part.
    More texts have gone through, but it is hit and miss. Right now, I sent a text, and the logs indicate for the push:
    2017-03-22 12:11:42:83
    Didn't process push that was received before.

    For what it's worth, the bottom prompt that keeps coming up in the browser to show status rotates between:
    Last SMSs not available
    Contacts not yet available....

    I can confirm though, that the phone has absolutely NO problem uploading the text to Google Drive, but it does not show up in the browser screen.

    Sorry for the trouble.
    I don't think that API message was related to this though, I think it was just a coincidence.
    Can you please try this:
    • clear the logs in the Join Android app
    • try to send an SMS from the web page
    • check the logs and post them here.
    Thanks!
