my.younify.tv/services, which app.trakt.tv/settings/streaming-services?mode=media .assigns oneself to, states:

Linking streaming services requires desktop Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Is this also worth reporting to github.com/trakt/trakt-web/issues?

Genuine Firefox web-compat issue confirmed. Loading https://my.younify.tv/services/ in Firefox displays a "Browser not supported" gate reading "Linking streaming services requires desktop Chrome or Microsoft Edge." with a "Download Chrome" link, blocking the streaming-service linking functionality. Loading the identical URL in Chrome does not show this gate — the page renders normally (only a generic "Your session has expired" message, which appears in both browsers because the page was reached directly rather than via the Trakt hand-off). The differing behaviour is driven by user-agent sniffing that whitelists Chromium-based browsers, so Firefox users are prevented from accessing the feature. Reproduces in Firefox but not in Chrome.

They don't seem to support mobile, so I'll make a desktop-only intervention for now.
