Firefox can’t run Google Sheets button scripts, works fine on Chromium browsers

I’m having an issue when using Google Sheets in Firefox. When I create a drawing shape, turn it into a button, and assign a script to it, everything works perfectly on Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc). But on Firefox, clicking the button just gives me:

> An error occurred > Script function xxx could not be found

Running the script from the custom menu (via `onOpen`) works without problems.

Some things I’ve tried / confirmed:

  • No execution log is recorded in GAS when the button is clicked.
  • Nothing shows up in the browser console either.
  • Turning off Enhanced Tracking Protection → still broken.
  • Disabling all extensions → still broken.
  • Troubleshooting mode → still broken.
  • Happens on my friend’s Firefox as well.
  • Happens on completely different spreadsheets as well.

So it seems like a consistent issue in Firefox itself. Has anyone run into this or know the cause?

Hi,

Thank you very much for reaching out! Could you please report it either on WebCompat (our testers will attempt to reproduce and, in case of success, file a bug on Bugzilla) or directly on Bugzilla?

If you do so, we would also appreciate it if you could post a link to the report here. If not, just let me know, and I'll file a report for you.
