History of the error...

Stream Raiders in Firefox (PC) became buggy for me after recent game updates.
When initially opening an SR tab it began to load as normal, then popped up an error window which said: "An error occurred running the Unity content on this page. See your browser JavaScript console for more info. The error was: InvalidStateError: A mutation operation was attempted on a database that did not allow mutations."

Clicking the "OK" button on the error allowed the page to continue to load, but when attempting to open battles in order to place units, the page would randomly get stuck on the "loading" screen, seemingly infinitely.
I don't know if it would have eventually loaded because the longest I waited is about 5-10 minutes.
Normally the battle loading page would only take 10 or 15 seconds.

It seemed to be a total crap shoot as to whether a battle would load or not. The same captain/map/battle might load fine once or twice in a row, then fail.
Or the same captain/map/battle might fail several times in a row and then suddenly work the next time.
While other times I could place in all 3 battles with no problem, only to have it fail the next round.
Each time the loading failed, i had to completely reload the tab to get the game back.
Restarting the browser had no effect.
Nothing had recently been changed or updated on my PC recently, except stream raiders.
Stream raiders seemed to work just fine in Microsoft edge, but i hate edge, so i despised the thought of having to use edge as a workaround.

So I tried my wife's PC, and was surprised to find that stream raiders worked just fine in Firefox on her computer.
So I went searching for a way to wipe my stream raiders data, *without* having to wipe my entire browser cache (I didn't want to lose my browser history or to have to reenter all of my passwords and everything again from scratch) and this is what i came up with.
Hope it helps others that find themselves in a similar situation :)


**Side note: One viewer has reported that this fixed their javascript related error as well**
