User Interface: Could not switch to "Minimal" user interface

[wAmpIre]

Bug Description

Just got the update to 2.5.0 in my Firefox 102ESR. After Login the default user interface is in use. Switch to "Minimal" in "Settings" → "User interface" does... nothing, even after relogin/reload/cache clean.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Login
2. Go to "Settings" → "User interface", change to "Minimal"
3. No change

Expected: Change user interface to minimal layout

I cannot reproduce this issue in latest Firefox. The user interface setting is stored in local storage. Do you use some plugins that might block this?

Is there an error logged in the debug console (F12) when you change the UI setting?

It now works again in private tab but not in "normal" tabs (cleaned all cookies, storage, stored/new sessions, ...).

I don't see any difference in "normal" vs. "private" debug consoles :(

It's probably an issue with your Firefox profile that prevents use or persistence of local storage. To verify this, you could create a new profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles?redirectslug=profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles&redirectlocale=en-US

There's not much we can do about this in Threema Web.
