There’s an extension for firefox based browsers that masquerades your browser as chrome.
I haven’t tried that but don’t think it would work because the system isn’t checking what browser is used and returning an error message, they have literally coded the web tools in such a way that when running in Firefox, it just doesn’t ever respond. If you try doing the same action in Opera, it literally crashes the entire browser. If you try to use Edge, the tab crashes. I’m not convinced they’ve done this on purpose, I think they just cobbled stuff together and only bothered testing on Chrome and called it good when it stopped crashing for them.
