Firefox: TypeError: window.$ is undefined

[qsantos]

I get the following on Firefox 69.0 on Debian stable (10.1). The weird thing is that I was not able to reproduce the issue from a fresh Firefox profile, and neither disabling addons, allowing cookies, trackers and such, “forgotting the website” from the history tab, or using privacy browsing fixed the issue. I might have missed something else to try.

Still an issue on (dev) 70.0b6

I think this might happen because of this line @JonasBa

hn-search/app/javascript/utils/telemetry.ts

Line 69 in c79d987

((window as any).$ as any).ajax({

I confirm that window.$ is not defined when I browse hn-search and type it in the developer console.

Thanks, fixing this asap now!

I merged a fix and will deploy this first thing tomorrow morning as we've just added some other changes in too. Thanks for reporting!

I confirm that the issue is fixed!
