  • They diverge on capability: ADP covers Payroll, Mozilla Firefox covers Enhanced tracking protection.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

ADP

  • No pricing is published; every quote is custom and driven by employee count and which services are taken
  • Split into three separate products by company size, RUN for 1 to 49 employees, Workforce Now for 50 and above, and Lyric HCM for enterprise, so growing across a threshold means changing product rather than plan

Mozilla Firefox

  • No longer supported on Windows 8.1 and earlier versions (users must use Firefox ESR)
  • No longer supported on macOS 10.14 and earlier versions (users must use Firefox ESR)
