App crashes after page refresh on Firefox
I hope it is a bug.
Environment: FF 76.0.1 (64-bit), Windows 10
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any item on a WorkFlowy webpage.
2. Check that link is of form "https://workflowy.com/#/{some_hash_value}"
3. Refresh the page
Expected behaviour: after page refresh the same item is opened. View is identical to the one before the refresh.
Actual behaviour: "WorkFlowy is having trouble starting. If this happens repeatedly, please email help@workflowy.com with the error message shown below. NetworkError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource."
Debug info from the bowser's console:
- Prevented navigation to “workflowy://workflowy.com/#/7a6eac01270a” due to an unknown protocol. workflowy.com
- Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://ssl.google-analytics.com/ga.js”. workflowy.com:1:1
- Transition timed out <div id="loadingScreen" style="color: rgb(220, 224, 226… opacity 150ms ease 0s;"> document_view.min.js:1:1336948
- Source map error: Error: request failed with status 404 Resource URL: https://workflowy.com/media/js/document_view.min.js?v=766eb5a Source Map URL: document_view.min.js.map

Hi Frank,
Yes, I confirm.
1. I open https://workflowy.com/ - works well
2. I navigate to https://workflowy.com/#/893375989317
3. Refresh gets me "WorkFlowy is having trouble starting."
Could be a check they introduced recently, in FF 76 - https://www.fxsitecompat.dev/en-CA/docs/2020/navigation-to-unknown-protocol-will-be-blocked/ and “workflowy://workflowy.com/#/7a6eac01270a” link is not passing the security requirements.
Refresh works fine on Chrome 81.0.4044.138 64-bit

SOLVED
Hi Frank!
I checked the "Open links in app" experimental feature in my settings just now. It was toggled OFF. I toggled it ON and back OFF again, doing hard page refresh every time. It didn't start working after turning ON, but the linked refresh started to work again after turning back off.
Thanks for the quick responses!
