Portuguese here. Haven't had to use anything but Firefox on the IRS and Social Security websites. What are you having trouble accessing?
From what I remember, autoridade tributaria had some buttons or links that wouldn’t do anything on firefox. I remember suspecting it was javascript, but then noticed that Chrome didn’t have issues.
Seg social and fundo ambiental had odd behaviors but I can’t remember exactly what they were.
I remember having to use Internet Explorer to do some actions on the autoridade tributária website, like simulating and submitting IRS (even had to download an external application) but that was like 10-12 years ago. More recently, I had to do some stuff with regards to opening and closing my activity (I was on recibos verdes for a while) and did it all through Firefox. Haven't had to do much else beyond this.
As for seg. social, I just tried to log in and it said my password expired and I had to create a new one. But when I filled in the password fields and tried to click on the button to submit it, it didn't work. In any browser. Because there was no fucking link associated with the button. So the button did nothing. I had to manually click on the "recover my password" link so I could a create a new one.
When I logged in, I just clicked on a few things, even simulated my retirement pension and everything worked. It's not much of a test, I know, but it's something.
Never entered fundo ambiental so I have no idea if it works or not.
