Why don't you update your Firefox?

We should display a fallback page with a helpful message in such a case.

Why don't you update ..

xD well yes ideally *( not exactly practical while : booting some random old.distro iso and surfing ),

that said the things to update list is long ( potentially endless! )

--edit-- #ffs* i just had to update , so i could edit this comment ^.^ on hub.webui

We should display a fallback page with a helpful message in such a case.

sounds reasonable , this appears surprisingly common issue with modern/current web build|process =S

Why dont open-vsx.org ( or whatever deps the site pullsin) support TEXTMODE browsers ;)

... usually disabling script , gets to some usable info(plaintext) / links !.. .><

Development (here): https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/blob/master/webui/static/index.html

Production (https://open-vsx.org/): https://github.com/EclipseFdn/open-vsx.org/blob/master/website/static/index.html
