OS: Linux (Debian Testing) Firefox 117.0 (64-bit) from Debian Unstable in private browsing.

I saw https://elementdavv.github.io/ mentioned in another issue and I get no console errors there outside of missing favicon.ico which is irrelevant.

The extension depends on some functions that doesn't work in private mode. So do not run in private window.

Hi, I was facing the same problem and i wasn't in private mode so I disabled "Block cookies" and "Trackers & ads blocking". Now it works. I was using Brave Browser.

Yes. If you use Brave, you can enable 'File System Access API' in 'brave://flags' page, or just disable the lion button after the addressbar.
