Blank screen after entering doi (Firefox)

Question

Closed this issue 2 years ago · 2 comments

I've had this issue for a few months now, making doi2bib unusable on Firefox (version 104.0). I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

When I enter a doi and hit get BibTeX, the whole screen goes blank. It does not happen when I use Chromium (version 105.0.5195.102).

Same happens here, Fedora 35, recent Firefox version. In the browser console, I can find a 404 for the following XHR request:

GET https://www.doi2bib.org/2/doi2bib?id=10.1101/2022.07.20.500902

This seems to be related to CSRF protections regarding www.doi2bib.org vs doi2bib.org. As such, the problem does not appear if you use www.doi2bib.org instead of doi2bib.org.
