weather.com issue
My machine runs Windows 7 (will not change) and Firefox version 115.32.1esr (64-bit). Until a few days ago, weather.com worked as expected. However, when I try accessing it now (with a specific location), the screen indicates: Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading weather.com (see the browser console for more information).
The following is from the browser console: [Experiment] Fetch all: retry=false [Experiment] Fetch variants for user: Object { library: "experiment-js-client/1.16.2", language: "en-US", platform: "Web", os: "Firefox 131", device_model: "Windows", device_category: "desktop", referring_url: "", browser: "Firefox", landing_url: "https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Ann+Arbor+MI?canonicalCityId=3c1740550b2f113b86f9cd665770bcf3e3e1a34bf7ac0189a6e3d215540792e7", first_seen: "1770396676.778", … } Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://api.lab.amplitude.com/sdk/v2/vardata?v=0.

What the bleep is going on and how can this be resolved? Note that the site works just fine when using a Chrome-like browser.

Hi
Please appreciate that you are using a a three year old copy of Firefox on an operating system that is no longer supported.
Are you update to more recent versions?
Firefox 115.32.0esr is based on the Firefox 115 Released back on July 4, 2023. but with security and stability fixes since. The last planned update for the older Firefox 115 ESR will be Fx 115.33.0esr on Feb 24.
Firefox 116.0 and later requires Windows 10. 11 to run. One could dual boot with a current Linux distro with a light desktop to use current Firefox versions.
Also Chrome/Chromium browsers dropped support for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 after January 2023.
