Reading the comments, It looks to be ad related, and maybe Firefox’s built in privacy tools are the root of the problem?

    It's a Google problem, Firfox's built in privacy tools are working as intended.

    🙄 and they sometimes break sites by accident. I’m not saying it’s Firefox’s fault to fix. If you read the comments on the reddit post, there are several users looking at the code and finding what’s happening and it’s not tied to user agent.
