Disappearing content & non-functional links

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox (linux mint)

Describe the bug

All content between the header & footer of any page vanishes when the page finishes loading. Pressing escape to interrupt the page loading does not prevent the bug. Page inconsistently loads only when using the "Discover content" dropdown list, and even then, it causes all links on the page that would have vanished to stop working unless forcing them to open a new tab. Issue continues in all new tabs. However, this doesn't always work, and sometimes the "Discover content" dropdown doesn't reload the page or temporarily allow searching. This causes the website to be completely unusable.

Steps to reproduce

Step 1: go to modrinth.com Step 2: watch the page load Step 3: watch all content between the header and footer vanish

Expected behavior

don't do that.

Additional context

I've been using modrinth for a while, and it only started doing this yesterday.

I'm on Firefox 128esr and unable to reproduce this issue. Could you please check if this is still happening to you? If it is, could you please provide the version of Firefox? It could also be useful to see any potential errors in your console, if you are comfortable checking that.

To check version:

1. Open hamburger menu in the top right corner
2. Select "Help"
3. Select "About Firefox"
4. Copy the version number presented under the Firefox logo

To open the console:

1. Press F12 1.1 Alternatively right-click → inspect element
2. Move to the "Console" tab
3. Look out for any red messages

Sorry for taking so long to respond, I had a few busy days. I was continuing to experience the bug... until I hard-refreshed the page (a fix that did not work before) and it stopped happening. Regardless, in case it starts to happen again, I'll put down all the information you might need.

Firefox version: "mint-001 - 1.0" (updates disabled), 134.0.2 (64-bit)

(Bug isn't happening at the moment and I can't figure out how to force it to happen, so the red flags probably aren't the same) Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://geo-location.prebid.cloud/v1/geo.

Some bug started to occur to me today on Brave browser on pc. Edge is showing everything alright.

This is how it looked and I fixed it for now just by using "clear console" button in the browser.

Same issue here, on Firefox 136.0 (64-bit)

It suddenly started occurring, the website was loading perfectly fine just a day ago

Edit: Clearing cookies fixes it

This is an intermittent caching issue that can sometimes arise when your local cache gets out of sync with the latest version of the site's files. A hard refresh (Shift + Click refresh in browser) should fix it.
