I've seen this error as a result of passing wrongly constructed cookie
data, but that shouldn't be happen with a browser.

What FF (or indeed SM to stay on topic) is actually sending in the
headers is shown in the browser's Dev Tools Network tab.

The SM problem originally quoted

> Error: SyntaxError: bad method definition

occurs because SM doesn't (yet) understand the ES6 class syntax:
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Using_classes#declaring_a_class>

The chance of getting the site not to send class declarations, even if
the site developers are using tools that would generate JS without them,
is very slim.
