unable to register service worker
I am developing a web application that requires the use of service worker from firebase messaging, before updating to firefox quantum version this was working fine, localhost was the url for testing and i also saw the correct results on the production url site, just after doing the update for quantum this stopped working and i don't quite know why it isn't working as firebase only throws a messaging saying that it is unable to register.
OS: Linux Debian/Ubuntu 16.04 x64 Browser: Firefox quantum 57.0 (64-bit)
Chosen solution
After long sessions of tests, i have concluded that the reason why the service worker was failing might be due to some corrupted file when the browser was updated.
I have verified this conclusion and it is like i said, i formatted my desktop (needed it long ago anyways) and set all the updates to be triggered after fresh installation, then i tried if the service worker was functional on "localhost" like it used to before update and it is now functional again.
Probably the distro did not test something for updating the browser which might be the cause the service worker was not even able to be installed so thanks for your help anways

No, this works on Chrome, and it was working before quantum update
See also the about:serviceworkers page and the Browser Console for error messages.

I have checked for the error messages and i get the error displayed in the attached image, the service worker file was not modified since i started having this issue. Again everything was working fine before the Quantum update and it works fine on latest version of Chrome.
I've forgotten to add information regarding to the system i am using in case this might be relevant to this error.

Thanks for information complements. Have you tried to contact the Firebase community? You're maybe not alone having troubles in this same context. I googled a little and found some other issues like this one.
