Ctrl+F5 is only a temporary fix for this issue. I use Firefox Containers to open Twitter and every time I opened a new tab with Twitter in it's own container this error appears. Ctrl+F5 does fix it temporarily, until I open another tab for Twitter.

Go to about:serviceworkers and look for the Twitter service worker, then unregister that.
