the problem is not firefox... it's probably addons or your internet connection that blocks content


It is also nothing for me in a Firefox fork with almost all add-ons disabled. Error console says there's a bunch of "class is a reserved identifier" and syntax errors of missing semicolons (before main() can even run).

My guess it's trying to use some bleeding edge emcascript stuff which borks the parsing in non-bleeding edge browsers.


oh... I forgot, I'm using the beta version of Firefox, that might be why.


If you run into problems, I'd love to know specific details - this is an experiment to see what was achievable with Dweb tools like IPFS, WebTorrent, Gun on browsers, with a big site like the Archive. It certainly pushes the edge of browsers - and does use the latest ES6 features without much attempt to support older browsers (unlike the production site at archive.org). We only currently test in the latest Chrome & Firefox, though it seems to work (mostly) on current Safari on iPad and iPhone and I heard its working on Android though I haven't seen it yet.

If you can get on, there is a feedback button, if you can't feel free to go straight to the form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe7pXiSLrmeLoKvlDi2... or open an issue on https://github.com/internetarchive/dweb-archive/issues .

Except the wayback machine which recently changed it's interface to be entirely JS dependent and fails on older browsers. And the old interface is no longer accessible.
