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.

    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.
