 ## BEFORE YOU BEGIN
 I have attempted the following troubleshooting suggestions:
- [ ] [Cleared website data](https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/clear-browser-cache-firefox.png), restarted Firefox, and my issue persists.
+- [ ] The issue persists when using Firefox in [Troubleshoot Mode](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode).
- [ ] No issues when using the website or extension in another web browser.
+- [ ] Disabled DNS-level content blocking (AdGuard Home, NextDNS, Control D, RethinkDNS, PiHole, etc), [cleared my DNS cache](https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-flush-your-dns-cache), and used my ISP's DNS resolver (if applicable).
- [ ] The issue persists when using Firefox in [Safe Mode](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-safe-mode).

 * This repository benefits from the research provided by [arkenfox](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js). While Betterfox does not use their `user.js`, we attempt to maintain parity with it.
