The Discussion Forum is not working on stage. API calls are working fine. There is no code error in the console. We suspect that this PR might be a cause behind this issue. So, I'm reverting this PR.

Discussion is working fine now after reverting this PR.

@awais-ansari is stage using a custom footer component?

edit: see below comment for updated plan

~~My assumption is that stage is using https://github.com/edx/frontend-component-footer-edx, in which case FooterSlot is not being provided by that package. There are 2 ways to go about solving this:~~

~~Port https://github.com/openedx/frontend-component-footer/pull/423 over to https://github.com/edx/frontend-component-footer-edx so the package provides FooterSlot~~
~~Utilize the FooterSlot and env.config.js in this MFE to replace the footer instead of relying on overriding the package.~~

We're working on a new pattern that will allow the footerslot to be shared while not requiring any updates to forked footers.

@brian-smith-tcril good to hear that but we are not using any custom footer component. Today the same issue occurred on account MFE. The Stage was broken for account MFE. We need to update the testing approach.
