I have problems with FF too (+uBlock Origin +DuckDuckGo Privacy). Loading the data from Google seems to fail:

  code	403
  message	Requests from referer https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/1A3xz8NFWjebuMbGWvy2yUBKcnAmuZSs5JmKq9-JDss8/values/Email?key=AIzaSyCxiboNdLE5nSch2pdwI3blsfvfyss3Y0M are blocked.

Read my previous reply.

As you can see from the code in my post, the script runs, but the server responds with a 403 error. That looks more like the JS is doing the wrong request in FF. The problem seems to be the referrer. For comparison:

Referrer in FF:

  https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/1A3xz8NFWjebuMbGWvy2yUBKcnAmuZSs5JmKq9-JDss8/values/Email?key=AIzaSyCxiboNdLE5nSch2pdwI3blsfvfyss3Y0M

Referrer in Chromium:

  https://secured.fyi/

Btw. I tried deactivating any Addons which might interfere with the requests but it didn't change anything. So probably all users with a modern Firefox will have an empty table.

I had to disable the "Smart Referrer" Firefox Addon to get the table to load in Firefox :(

I'll be working on re-designing everything from scratch, and not rely on my current jquery solution. It's a matter of how much time I have available, but it's a priority on my list :)
