Why at some sites I CAN'T LOG IN at normal mode and need ONLY PRIVATE WINDOW MODE so i can log in and use the site normally. Sites like this "http://my.xe.gr"

I get that error when this pref is false:

  • dom.webnotifications.enabled = false

ReferenceError: Notification is not defined 'Notification' in window => false

In a PB mode window the console doesn't show the error message.

In regular window ('serviceWorker' in navigator = true): ('serviceWorker' in navigator && 'PushManager' in window) = true and the code is run

In PB mode window ('serviceWorker' in navigator = false): ('serviceWorker' in navigator && 'PushManager' in window) = false and the code doesn't run

https://my.xe.gr/assets/js/library-min.js?v=1.8.22 Line 276:

   }), 'serviceWorker' in navigator && 'PushManager' in window) {
      var pushPermission = Notification.permission;
      $.cookie('pushStatus', pushPermission, {
        expires: 90,
        path: '/',
        domain: 'xe.gr'
      })

The website should check 'Notification' in window as well.

What error does it say? Screenshot of the error helps for others to see what is happening.

It doesn't bring any error simply i CAN'T log in the log in button simply doesn't accept it at normal mode ONLY at private mode.

Interesting.

In the normal mode there's an additional exception in the console:

ReferenceError: Notification is not defined
library-min.js:277
    init library-min.js:277
    n my-libs-min.js:805
    fireWith my-libs-min.js:865
    ready my-libs-min.js:536
    B my-libs-min.js:763

After this exception no further JS is loaded, so the login button doesn't work.

What that means? Means that some sites DOESN'T WORK normal anymore? How i can ALL THE SITES even that i mention before work normal without needing to go to private mode?

Hmm, I'm not seeing this problem

If I click the button without filling any data then I get this error that the data in incorrect:

  • Τα στοιχεία πρόσβασης δεν είναι σωστά.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"Remove the Cookies" from websites that cause problems:

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data -> Manage Data

"Clear the Cache":

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> Cached Web Content: Clear

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Interesting. Looks like this bug is Win7-specific. Can't repro on win10.

No it's NOT A WIN7 issue cause chrome and all other internet browsers works just fine ONLY FIREFOX DOESN'T at that site. And even firefox at older versions work just fine even at this site to so IT'S NOT WIN7 ISSUE BUT FIREFOX LATEST VERSION ISSUE.

Hi nick

If you have a problem with Firefox 70 in normal mode and not in PB mode then this is likely a problem with DOM storage (Local Storage Next Generation aka LSNG) that is enabled by default in Firefox 70. You can do a test on this website.
