If it makes you feel any better, I lost a lot of points on English tests because I thought "fire" had two syllables.

But it does. It can be pronounced with two syllables or one. It's completely legitimate to pronounce it with two (rhymes with "higher").

I wonder how many people baffled by the concept of "orange" being one syllable also pronounce "comfortable" with three

English is not a phonetic language

It's not pronounced like that.

It's pronounced or-inj.

That site is clearly wrong, since it says hire and higher have a different number of syllables despite them being homophones.

Lyre and Liar also have different amounts of syllables.

It sounds like you don't know what a syllable is.

Those two have the same number of syllables as well!

Don't forget that vowels can come from vowel sounds, diphthongs, and syllable consonants.

this reminds me of getting frustrated seeing Brain Age try to claim "Smile" only has 1 syllable. Like with fire I guess, I just can't image the high 'i' sound working into an 'l' or 'r' without changing the sound to another syllable. Or(a)nge seems like a different sort of case though. At best, it being heard as just 1 syllable seems like it could be some unique local dialect thing maybe.

To be honest syllables have a pretty murky definition, so it's not something worth giving people a hard time over (or losing test points from). There's no hard line between where something stops being a diphthong and starts being two separate vowels, hence the ambiguity on fire.
