No entries load in firefox, either when searched or when input direct to the address bar.

Hi, I've tested on Firefox on my local machine and it works OK, so I'm not sure what might be going on for you. Do you have any addons installed that might be interfering? Are there any messages visible in the developer console?

I do use an adblocker, but even when it is disabled it still doesn't load anything.
I've checked the dev console and I get several errors:

Hm, it looks like something in your setup is blocking cross-origin requests more strictly than the underlying browser would.

Is there any way you could try using a "fresh" Firefox install (perhaps try the Developer Edition https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/) and installing in your addons one by one until it stops working? To see if we can narrow down which addon is causing the problem.

Are you getting a security warning when trying to view https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nornagon/cdda-data/main/data/latest/all.json ?
I get this problem on the Firefox instance I have on my work computer and work network, while Edge is not affected. Some cursory Googling hints at some network level stuff and a http/https difference might be at fault. Firefox does in any case not like the raw.githubusercontent.com certificate.

@Maddremor I don't think it's a http/https difference, as both https://nornagon.github.io/cdda-guide and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/... are https.

It would be interesting if Firefox wasn't happy with the raw.githubusercontent.com certificate! Here's the cert chain I see:

The DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA does appear to be present in the Firefox CA list, according to https://ccadb-public.secure.force.com/mozilla/IncludedCACertificateReport.

What OS are you on? Some Linux distributions choose different CA lists, I think, so that could potentially be the issue.

Are you using Privacy Badger or Ghostery by any chance? https://stackoverflow.com/a/56970532/216728 suggests they may interfere with some cross-origin requests.

Curious 🤔 is there perhaps some preference or setting that could be interfering? Something in the privacy & security preferences perhaps?

What version of firefox are you seeing the bug on?

Maybe a separate issue but probably not. Firefox (78.9.0esr x64) is lagging super hard when I am typing in search field. It is eating ~40% of my 4 cores, and results for "turret control unit" took more than a minute to come out, with 2 intermediate results for "turr" and "turret contro" - yes, I could see letters being typed dozens of seconds after I actually typed them, it was that slow.
Using uBlock Origin and noscript but even turning both of them off does nothing to remove/reduce lag.

@GGgatherer that sounds like a different issue. Would you mind opening a new issue to track it?

The next step would be to gather a performance profile, if you could! Open the developer tools in Firefox (Ctrl+Shift+I or right click -> Inspect Element), go to the 'Performance' tab, then click the stopwatch icon on the left to start recording. Type in the search field (or do whatever else causes the slowness). Then click the stopwatch icon again to stop the recording. There should be a 'Save' link on the left near "Recording #1", click that, then attach the resulting file to the new issue.

Thanks for your help!

I'm going to close this for now as I haven't been able to reproduce the issue. If new information becomes available I'm happy to reopen.

That's fine, I just switch to another browser to use it.
