Lots of errors, both at startup and on the website itself.

Describe the bug

When I open the website, The following two errors pop up:

Apologies! An error has occurred. You may be able to continue, but some parts may not work properly.

Error [tw-user-script-0]: expected expression, got '.'.

Apologies! An error has occurred. You may be able to continue, but some parts may not work properly.

Error [StoryInit]: <<run>>: bad evaluation: setup.urlSeed is not a function.

After the errors are ok-ed, the page is literally filled with errors.

To Reproduce (bugs MUST be replicable)

Town Seed (click here for info): #idealisticsilvergrunion most recently, but pretty much any seed seems to trigger it.

Page to navigate to, buttons to press, etc: just the home page.

Additional context

I’m using Firefox 70.0b2 on Linux (devuan beowulf, based on debian), with a number of plugins installed:

• noscript has all script sources set to allow
• privacy badger didn’t block anythin
• ublock origin seems to be blocking some things from sentry.io, but the errors persist when ublock is turned off
• pluckeye doesn’t claim to have blocked anything, and it doesn’t generally block anything without logging it.
• I doubt any of the others did anything.

After clearing cookies and site data, the page looks like this:

Chromium on the same device? Okay, that’s useful.

Please do not message bugs privately. The bug tracker is public so anyone can work on fixing the issue, and people having similar issues can see it and not need to make a new thread- sending it to me would just complicate it slightly. Thanks!

Edit: I realise upon rereading that you mean reply to the issue thread. Oops. Please disregard above!

[foresto]

I had a similar experience today: the Generator produced errors, and even after I allowed scripts from all domains or disabled uMatrix (my script blocker) entirely, cleared cookies and cache, and forced a full reload, the errors persisted.

However, when I enabled scripts from unpkg.com and restarted Firefox (instead of merely clearing cookies & cache and reloading), the Generator started working.

This is puzzling, because enabling scripts and reloading is normally enough to get even the worst web apps I’ve encountered to function. I’ve never seen one before that actually requires a browser restart. I wonder what causes this bizarre behavior.
