Assistant page don't load correctly on Firefox ESR 115, librewolf

Cannot use Kagi Assistant on firefox linux. It just doesn't load the models and the ui gets broken.
It also is impossible to interact with the entire left pannel

Cannot access Kagi assistants : this error causes AI models list to not load, and other UI issues, making it impossible for me to use Kagi assistant on firefox on ubuntu.

Which version of Firefox are you using?

showPopover seems to be a fairly recent api, available in Firefox releases after April. Not untypical that e.g. Debian releases, are a bit behind, iirc.

It can most likely easily be fixed by adding a polyfill (https://github.com/oddbird/popover-polyfill).

Although it is nice to use recent js APIs, I think it would be beneficial to support some later versions of browsers. At least be very clear about what you support. Ideally telling users when they are on unsupported browsers/versions.

I would expect older iOS devices to struggle with this as well. And not all iOS users can upgrade.

I guess assistant is relying a lot on client side js, while search is not. I’ve seen several threads on similar problems.

Ever since Kagi Assistant became the new AI interface, I haven't been able to load the interface on my desktop. Buttons do not work, typing a query and pressing enter just makes it disappear into the void. I've cleared cache many times and tried private browsing mode. OS: Debian 12.7, Browser: Firefox 115.15.0esr (64-bit)

I expect the interface to load correctly.

EDIT: I thought this report was related to another one but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Could you please share which browser you're using?

Hi Luis, I'm using Firefox 115.15.0esr (64-bit).

Looking at other issues I found https://kagifeedback.org/d/4726-assistant-page-dont-load-correctly-on-firefox-esr-115-librewolf which is what I'm dealing with.

legeana to resolve this problem, I recommend updating your Firefox ESR version to the latest available. After the update, you should no longer encounter this particular issue

I saw a better suggestion to use https://kagi.com/v1_assistant instead.
I don't have an option to upgrade Firefox right now, thank you. Feel free to mark this bug as a duplicate.

Debian stable-security repos started shipping Firefox 128 ESR on October 2, so those of us using Firefox from Debian stable can now use the new assistant after a system package upgrade. It works for me!

I agree with others in this thread that a mature web engineering org will have a legible browser support policy. Kagi may not be there yet, and that's fine. When you do get there, I hope you'll include Firefox ESR (according to Mozilla's release policy).

I tried opening the link to the Assistant in MenubarX browser on my mac (which offers an easy way to access instantly with a shortcut, great for fast browsing or pinning a small window)

Anyways, the Ai Model selection keep Loading, but it never loads, and my History Threads aren't shown

I did try "deleting site data" in the browser, I also tried changing the User Agent & Window Size, but nothing works.

FYI, I did use MenubarX successfully in the past with ChatGPT, Claude, & Perplexity.

I expected site to load correctly, so I can use it.

Hello everyone, we are addressing these compatibility issues. We will keep you updated in this thread.
