We do not support this Firefox ESR release, as it's not compatible to the technology required by the sopher app (i.e., service workers and push notifications). Please try a current release of Firefox (not ESR) or Chrome.
Thanks for reaching out and please let us know if you are having further issues.
Also, it mentions on your website you can host the server, but there's no details about this. What is required, and what is the pricing structure?

Yes, it's possible to host everything yourself. You'll need a docker host to run the microservices, but that's about it. It'd be best if you give me a call or write an email, then I can give you more details. Contact details are on the web site.

Btw, this is the Firefox document detailing the missing features in Firefox ESR: https://www.fxsitecompat.dev/en-CA/docs/2018/service-workers-and-push-notifications-are-disabled-on-firefox-60-esr/

Thank you! So all ESR releases are not supporting the required features?

@neben
Hmm, let me double check with the current ESR this afternoon.

@neben
Unfortunately, service workers and push notifications are still disabled in FF 68 ESR. Are you able to use the Debian firefox package instead of firefox-esr?
