Twitch is the same way, but youtube is working fine. Hexbear loaded correctly when I first installed this distro, then it just stopped working the next day without anything being changed.

I remember seeing someone else mention a similar problem a while back, but I couldn’t find that post when I tried searching for it.

    It sounds exactly like that. Perhaps you ran firefox as root at some point?

    I’d say:

    • delete the cache:
    rm -rf .cache/mozilla
    • set yourself as the owner of everything under ~/.mozilla:
    chown -Rc $(id -u):$(id -g) ~/.mozilla
    • make sure you can write to everything under /.mozilla:
    chmod -Rc u+w ~/.mozilla

    If you get permissions errors, run them with sudo.

      It was the firefox that came preinstalled in the distro and I only ever ran it from the icon on the panel, but someone else’s advice to install the flatpack version worked so I just swapped to that. Thanks for taking the time to try to help, anyways.
