All of a sudden the Twitter website has stopped working right.

What's interesting if I change my User Agent to a Google Chrome one, then it starts working. Just wondering if anyone else is having issues. FF 46.0.1 32bit in Windows 7 Pro 64bit. I'm sure it's Twitter's problem.

Oh, also, if the user agent is Firefox, the CTRL-SHIFT-Q sequence does not work but it does if the user agent is Chrome LOL. Something is borked there LOL.

Well, with a Clean Profile it works as well as the hotkey CTRL-SHIFT-Q.

Normal profile in Safe-Mode, doesn't work. Hrmmmm
Cleared Cache - no diff.
Deleted Cookies - no diff.
Disabled ABP - no diff.
Allow 3rd-Party Cookies - no diff.

Hmmmmm

Worked fine yesterday.

The 64bit Firefox works with the exact same extensions as the 32bit. The Hotkey for the console also works fine.

What is going on?

In the 32bit Firefox, this JavaScript error is in the console:

Code: Select all
18:21:12.805 ReferenceError: Notification is not defined
pushSubscriptionManager/this.getNotificationPermission() boot.99e8fda249b1b341b20902b802c270241cc67f7f.js:646
pushSubscriptionManager/this.isSupported() boot.99e8fda249b1b341b20902b802c270241cc67f7f.js:646
pushSubscriptionManager/<() boot.99e8fda249b1b341b20902b802c270241cc67f7f.js:646


This error is not in the 64bit's console.

In the 32bit clean profile, no JavaScript error like that. Site works.

Ah hah! This setting causes it: dom.webnotifications.enabled set to false. Flipped it to true and it works.

The JavaScript error made me look for "notify" in about:config.

Good catch... Wonder how it got changed from the default ?? Some privacy tweak I suppose..

I probably turned it off to make websites stop asking about it or something... I seem to remember doing something along those lines. But, since my 64bit profile wasn't like that and it was copied from this one not long ago, I don't know.

Yeah, that was it. But it wasn't a problem with Twitter until today. They changed something.
