We’ve encountered this before, but it is now starting to effect additional users with more recent updates. Some users (All using FireFox Latest build 122.0.1 (64-bit)) have no reaction options on posts, only Heart. Hovering over a post Heart only shows the Alt Text. This does not seem to be a Discourse plugin/install issue. Once a user is effected (I am on ONE PC (brand new out of the box)) it affects this user on ALL DISCOURSE instances. Example: This is a new out of the box Surface Pro, I have only Heart reactions on two separate self hosted installs (both updated last week), AND same here on meta, ONLY Heart. [Screenshot] I can open Chrome on the same pc and I have all reaction options. I can open Firefox on a different pc and my Android phone and I have all reaction options. This only seems to affect a very small subset of users, but myself and another user who did have access to all reactions have now seen the issue as of this week. I know this is a needle in a haystack hunt, but thoughts?

Checking with all effected users, 123.0 FF seems to have fixed this issue, one user had been experiencing it for over a year.

Do you see any errors in the browser console?

Maybe it’s a problem with Firefox? Also, I don’t have the reaction button either, and I’m on an iPad with the Google app… Alternatively, it could be a trust level thing but that’s highly doubtful.

Maybe it’s something else. In my last post, I noted that I didn’’t have the reaction button either despite the fact I’m using Google. I’ll ask my friends there later. Edit: Shows up now!

tell the user to try private browsing. it’s probably a firefox extension.

It is the next step, but since it only effects discourse this is my first stop. When discourse can say, yeah, it’s a FF issue, and here’s what is causing it, I can push a bug report with more detailed information

Have you reported this issue to the firefox bug tracker? It may be an issue with the Firefox Browser.
