Hello Community and Google AI Studio Team,
I am experiencing a critical issue where Google AI Studio completely fails to load on Linux using the Firefox browser. The page either hangs indefinitely on “Please wait while your application starts…” or turns completely blank when trying to bypass directly via [``https://aistudio.google.com/app/prompts/new``](``https://aistudio.google.com/app/prompts/new``).
Upon checking the browser’s Developer Console, it is flooding with the following strict JavaScript execution error:
“unreachable code after return statement”
It appears that a recent production build or code update contains a syntax structure where code is placed immediately after a return statement. Because Firefox enforces strict JavaScript parsing, this error causes the entire application’s rendering engine to crash and halt initialization.
Environment Details:
-
OS: Linux
-
Browser: Mozilla Firefox (Latest Version)
-
Affected URL:
[https://aistudio.google.com/](https://aistudio.google.com/)and all underlying app paths.
Steps already taken to troubleshoot:
-
Tested in Incognito / Private Window (Issue persists).
-
Cleared all browser cache, Local Storage, and IndexedDB data (Issue persists).
-
Attempted direct URL bypass (Results in a blank page).
This seems to be a broken build/regression affecting Firefox users on Linux. Could the engineering team please look into this and perform a fix or a rollback on the recent deployment?
Thank you!
