I have IceCat 60.2.0-gnu, would that make a difference? "ESR" stands for Extended Support Release. I'm just using the IceCat that comes with Guix.

Is there any indication of what went wrong in the dev console (error HTTP status codes, JavaScript warnings, etc.)? If you can install normal FireFox on your OS, does it work?

Nice to know there are other free software options out there, also. =2D-=20 Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEy/WXVcvn5+/vGD+x3UCaFdgiRp0FAlvM2xUACgkQ3UCaFdgi Rp3bIA/+MXiHesCfhCBjMqc0tnMUWbs8zkat9Nl60ZAAr6MqaLEOkvwRMlXt2TfQ sBX3qyg5MM/ffRWkKS8d/5OfjOantGLmWJJd4wzKpWu6Zt6wwQiLVKpVR0d2MX1X 6TiJGCmaa19+EMmRhfvDzqCVhPmHmEtiBtC6IA0u/shkfL+RmzGk2cYf9tW+OCi9 On/CmAPYS80y7M/GZnLBgQH5DEXHfdNSXFJEtkYyUr+HuZvN+nJIR9iCkxOM/f3P 10rHMykNzOZfPTPlCb/IsaH0+KvvLumcXKluZ4AwKkozN4KsY++LnZKVusiTVrPW lLw1tC7T0KBEJgsDzAT8tQAkk33kohjyft0HwvGFK3/tbH4B7igIoH2q29JEddjB IXU4BbAqNC0871de9ZIOowKEBAF8BHgW1bnURY58k9UjdJ/lu+L2brYpL1FCyn7I jNYbyW36OpF3Qa26OU+PV4DpdTCKDWepzhGKpOerthAYxiBITqwkEYMf167crCy6 lY8IMPf+iAYBpUgIIvzGBgeJaPV1duzO4p17TxNNmZmBJCzl3PGgIbSVxxguHgTp H7Hj1ejXjpbPZ832CERt6XpOkuXaOd8sdPlyU4RKouIHfww4E6wNaNhChl6wjDBW EAW11NO4/aDpvWo5BF4SMCU7tKUZDK/97JMmzGDp4PDbMeasO8Q= =Pi/h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
