ZeroOmega is developed using the mv3 specification, and mv3 must be run under service worker. However, firefox is not fully compatible with service worker in private mode, so there is no good solution for now. Either try to use switchyomega or wait for firefox to be compatible in the future.

Service workers not compatible

The most fundamental reason may be: Firefox in "never remember history" mode will disable IndexedDB

I converted indexeddb to localStorage, the latest 3.3.6 may work.
