And the refresh button disappeared in the latest Firefox (v84.0.2)? I have to use F5, but still 404s 80% of the time... looks like a similar problem that Twitter has been having for months (sometimes it says "content is not available to you" unless you refresh).

Well that's just... terrible UX. Surely there's a setting to enable it again?

Sounds to me like a CDN problem in both cases. Content not propagating and possibly not being cached correctly at the endpoint you're trying to use until you refresh a few times.

Just a guess mind, but a relatively informed one since I've had similar issues on my own sites that usually require CDN cache invalidation to fix.

The latest Firefox is actually v86, and the refresh button is right there for me.

Could you maybe have accidentally removed it in the Customize menu?

It came back with my linux distribution's provided update... not sure what hapenned but I didn't remove it.
