Hexbear started not loading at all in firefox on linux, but does in chrome, and it does in firefox on windows. Anyone have a clue what's going on or how to fix this? (hexbear.net)

Twitch is the same way, but youtube is working fine. Hexbear loaded correctly when I first installed this distro, then it just stopped working the next day without anything being changed.

I remember seeing someone else mention a similar problem a while back, but I couldn't find that post when I tried searching for it.

Click the 🔒 icon in the address bar in front of the URL, clear cookies and site data.

Didn't fix it. Actually the problem may be more specific than this: I was able to login, check inbox, and come to this post in firefox just fine, but on the main page the little bear just spins forever and none of the dropdowns work.

Another idea is to press F12 to open the dev tools, go to the network tab, and refresh the page. If something is not loading it will be highlighted in red and it will tell you the reason.

It might be some addon messing things up, you can launch firefox with no addons with firefox --safe-mode.

Does it happen in a "private" window?

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: ServiceWorker script at https://hexbear.net/service-worker.js for scope https://hexbear.net/ encountered an error during installation.
Uncaught (in promise) NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED:

Twitch is the same error message. A private window works for both, safemode doesn't work for either. So this is, what, a usergroup permissions issue with where it wants to cache something, and the private window avoids that by not trying to write anything?

It sounds exactly like that. Perhaps you ran firefox as root at some point?

I'd say:

delete the cache:

rm -rf .cache/mozilla

set yourself as the owner of everything under ~/.mozilla:

chown -Rc $(id -u):$(id -g) ~/.mozilla

make sure you can write to everything under /.mozilla:

chmod -Rc u+w ~/.mozilla

If you get permissions errors, run them with sudo.

It was the firefox that came preinstalled in the distro and I only ever ran it from the icon on the panel, but someone else's advice to install the flatpack version worked so I just swapped to that. Thanks for taking the time to try to help, anyways.
