Firebase/Firestore not working

Unread post by NancyJ » 2018-11-17, 12:52

I'm working on a very basic firestore implementation, I started working on it months ago and came back to it today to find its not working when it was definitely working before. After hours of debugging and googling, I came to the conclusion that it palemoon that's the problem, not my code. I may have also come to this conclusion months ago and forgotten! So I can't say for sure if it ever working in PM

This is the message I'm seeing in the console:
@firebase/firestore: Firestore (5.5.1): Could not reach Cloud Firestore backend. Connection failed 1 times. Most recent error: FirebaseError:

Code: Select all

: Fetching auth token failed: A network error (such as timeout, interrupted connection or unreachable host) has occurred.
This typically indicates that your device does not have a healthy Internet connection at the moment. The client will operate in offline mode until it is able to successfully connect to the backend.

Firefox, IE and Chrome all run the code just fine so it seems like something in PM that's blocking it

What is firebase/firestore?
Is there some URL associated with it?

We're not purposefully blocking anything in that respect.
It is however possible that e.g. whatever connection is attempted does not meet Pale Moon's minimum connection security requirements, or that Google is actively blocking connections from Pale Moon. Without more details, this remains guesswork, however. Which host is running the Cloud Firestore?

The actual firestore is hosted by google. The code that's interacting with the firestore is currently on my local computer, however I've also tried it on my linode and the result was the same.

FFS, it was noscript. Hours of debugging and I didn't notice the little icon change
