Block/Visual Editor Doesn’t Work

    The Block Editor is not working for me. When I try to create a new page, the ‘+’ button is greyed out. Adding paragraphs does not add new blocks, ‘i’ shows only one block.

    The Block Navigation button opens to show ‘Classic’. If I click that, a ‘More Options’ menu appears that contains ‘Convert to Blocks’. Doing that then shows HTML, e.g.:

    <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Can't create blocks<br>
asdfads<br>
aasdfds</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

    But the More Options menu has a choice ‘View as HTML’.

    I have flushed all caches and tried development mode on CloudFlare. My user settings have a nickname and ‘Disable visual editor’ is unchecked, but I toggled those settings to make sure. I resaved permalink settings.

    I disabled all plugins with the Health and Troubleshooting plugin. Nothing has worked.

    In the javascript console for the edit page, the following appear:

    Request to access cookie or storage on “https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Serif%3A400%2C400i%2C700%2C700i&ver=5.2” was blocked because we are blocking all third-party storage access requests and content blocking is enabled. post-new.php

Request to access cookie or storage on “https://cdnsure.com/assets/style” was blocked because we are blocking all third-party storage access requests and content blocking is enabled. post-new.php

    I don’t really understand this. I am dead in the water here – please help!
    WordPress is 5.2.

    So, to summarize, the problem occurs:

    1. in Firefox but not Safari.
    2. with all plugins deactivated
    3. with the default theme
    4. after flushing all caches, and Cloudflare in development mode
    5. with user having a nickname and ‘Disable visual editor’ not checked
    6. after resaving permalink settings
    7. after manually reinstalling WordPress
    8. with REST API available

    On the page edit page, with debugging active, the following warnings (W) and errors (E) appear in javascript console (I cleared the content blocking errors):

    7. (E) Warning: Can’t call setState on a component that is not yet mounted. This is a no-op, but it might indicate a bug in your application. Instead, assign to this.state directly or define a state = {}; class property with the desired state in the t component. react.js:276:7?

    I found the problem. It was a Firefox extension called User-Agent Switcher. Disabling that fixed the block editor. Thanks for your help @t-p.
