Thanks for the report. I can reproduce this issue in Firefox 57 for OSX.

Works in Chrome:

In the Firefox console:

TypeError: t is null                             web-storefront-volumestore.js:390:9

In fact the same issue remains in Chromium:

So, it is not directly related to Firefox.

One major difference is that instead of Chromium Firefox just stops the whole script when it trows an error and Chromium continue to the point of fetching results and it-just-looks-like-it-is-working.

My advice will be to reach out Apple to fix their website instead, because it-is-broken.

Thanks @hiseni
Switching to contactready.

@jonathandavis do you think you could help raise this issue internally? or should we go through the partner mailing-list? @adamopenweb

Contacting through partner mailing list.

Also just to note that this is broken in Chrome Canary now, release Chrome still looks-like-it-is-working. 😄

This is working for me in Firefox 61+ for MacOS. Still seeing the TypeError in the console, but searching works at least.

Closing this report but please comment or reopen if you can still reproduce the issue.
