Note, for Firefox users:

  1. Open the new tab on Firefox with the URI about:config

  2. Find this setting - network.http.http2.websockets and turn it off.

When the network.http.http2.websockets setting in Firefox is set to true, WebSocket connections may fail because this option enables WebSocket-over-HTTP/2, which has specific requirements that are not always supported by servers or intermediaries.
