I think I'm just blocking too much. At one point I got a message something like "if you're seeing this, your browser is blocking chatbox". Before that the links did nothing. The color changer buttons worked.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. This issue has been going on for quite awhile. Cbox collects some statistics, and Firefox has been flagging it as tracking/fingerprinting because it's a CORS iframe. Cbox claims it's a false positive and that they just collect IPs that interact with the chat to show stuff like a visitor counter, the amount of unique visitors, and countries of origin as a feature for users, and also to let the user block IPs if someone is trolling/spamming the chat, and that there is no cross-user/cbox tracking and they have requested to be whitelisted, but to this day Firefox hasn't gotten back to them.
Cbox is whitelisted by uBlock Origin, AdGuard, by Brave's tracking protection and most importantly it's not on any of HaGeZi's list, so yeah I believe Firefox is tripping, so I just added an Enhanced Tracking Protection exception on my browser to be able to interact with cboxes on the wild (I surf a lot indieweb)
