Title: [Source Map Loader] Worker crash due to unhandled JSON.parse error on non-JSON/HTML responses in fetchSourceMap.js

Description:

When fetching source maps in a worker context, fetchSourceMap.js occasionally encounters an unexpected non-JSON response (such as an HTML error page or 404 response starting with ). This causes an unhandled JSON.parse exception at line 83 (_fetch), crashing the source map consumer.

Stack Trace: Plaintext

Source map error: Error: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data Stack in the worker: parseSourceMapInput@resource://devtools/client/shared/vendor/source-map/lib/util.js:163:15 _factory@resource://devtools/client/shared/vendor/source-map/lib/source-map-consumer.js:1069:22 SourceMapConsumer@resource://devtools/client/shared/vendor/source-map/lib/source-map-consumer.js:26:12 _fetch@resource://devtools/client/shared/source-map-loader/utils/fetchSourceMap.js:83:19

Proposed Patch (fetchSourceMap.js - Line 83): JavaScript

// Replace direct unhandled parse at line 83 with safe parsing: const sourceMap = (() => {

 try {
   const trimmed = responseText ? responseText.trim() : "";
   if (trimmed.startsWith("<") || trimmed.startsWith("
})();

I'm on a Mac desktop, Mac Tahoe 26.6.2, using the latest version of Firefox, although this frequently happened in previous versions. Audio often disappears from videos and reels. When I refresh the page, nothing happens. To get sounds working again, I have to quit Firefox and restart, but by then I've lost the reels I was watching. This is a big issue for me as I am a musician. Any ideas on how to fix this permanently?

Starting about 2-3 weeks ago, I couldn't access one webpage in where I access an account where I pay some bills on. It keeps saying 'Internal Error', saying to call the website's tech support. This website works on other browsers, just not Firefox it seems.

I have set my settings to 'no proxy', and have cleared all of my history. I don't know what else to do to get access to the website back. I am also not a coder, and this is my only laptop, so I am looking at solutions that are easy to understand and won't break my computer to where I would need outside help.

After a Windows update, Mozilla my browser times out and won't load: "http://www.dailygammon.com/bg/login" It has been one of my bookmarks for years, I play Backgammon there every day. I have cleared my browser history and cache, it is still not loading. I tried with Edge and it loaded no problem. How do I fix this? Mozilla is my default browser.

Is there any documented way our I.T department can disable the ability to connect to or even see the Firefox VPN that is being rolled out via group policy or another settings method? Firefox is a great asset for our agency but we cannot have users having the ability to bypass our web filtering. If there's not an option currently, could we have the IP's or the servers that it runs off of so we can manually block it in our firewall?

I signed into my Firefox on a new computer, but for some reason my widgets are gone. I have checked my settings, and the box "Allow Firefox to improve features, performance, and stability between updates" is checked off. My old computer still has the widgets, so it's not like I turned it off. Any ideas?

I just wanna play the daily crossword T-T

I have always used Firefox to access my account with Spectrum.net, until the past few days, when my login has been rejected, repeatedly. Talking to a Spectrum tech rep, she told me to try to log in using Chrome. I tried it, and had no trouble changing my password and then logging in to my account. The tech rep concluded that the problem therefore lies with Firefox. Does Firefox need to be re-set somehow? Thanks! Hollis Barber

My Windows 10 PC died - I was able to recover the data on the hard drive using an enclosure.

Bought a new PC with Windows 11 preinstalled and want to restore my configuration

Things I want restored:

Extensions with their settings (particularly Noscript /uBlock custom filters)

Bookmarks with their icons

How can I achieve this ?

I never had sync set up so that’s not an option

Can I just copy the entire account over wholesale or at least the folders containing the extension info ?

I used a temp boot of Zorin to copy my files out of the old hard drive as Windows seemed to have difficulty ‘gaining permission’ to my old profile.

I want to keep a parallel install of Linux (Mint or Zorin) - how do I transfer my settings over there ?

Lastly would running a parallel Windows 10 install help me restore my settings if nothing else works ?

Thanks

I am trying to make the internet experience for myself and my family as safe as possible. Transparency is part of this, so I want to know how to disable private browsing in a way my kids won't be able to turn back on again. Also, are there 'safe search'-like settings in Firefox? I haven't been able to find anything like it yet.

Steps to reproduce:

• View a PDF within Firefox
• Select the 'Save' icon
• Click within the file name field, right next to "Save As"
• The "forward delete" key ('Delete' on a Windows keyboard) does not work. It used to work in previous versions of Firefox, but no longer works.
• The "backwards delete" key ('Backspace' on a Windows keyboard) works without issue.
