Thanks, reproduced on my end as well. Not sure why this broke, but taking a look.

This should be fixed in version 1.2.8.

I'll upload this release to the Firefox and Chrome stores shortly; typically, Firefox approves new versions within a few minutes, and Chrome within one day, though in some situations it can take longer. If you want to be able to scrape this puzzle before the end of the day - since as far as I know, the Boston Globe doesn't have an archive available - you can either use Firefox in a few minutes once this version is (hopefully) available, or else manually install the release using the instructions at https://github.com/jpd236/CrosswordScraper/wiki/Troubleshooting#installing-a-custom-release-in-chrome. If you follow the latter steps, just be sure to revert back to the standard version at some point to avoid missing out on future updates.
