Incident Report for Hotjar
Postmortem

On June 24th at 11.57 UTC we received an internal report that the Navigation Bar on www.hotjar.com was not visible.

What happened?

We were running an experiment to try out a new Navigation Bar for the entire website. In certain instances of users using Firefox this was hidden.

Why did this issue occur?

Firefox uses a technique called Enhanced Tracking Protection, which is not switched on by default. When this had been switched on, or a user was running a Private window, our experiment settings failed to load and the Navigation Bar wouldn't be displayed.

What will we do to prevent this from happening in the future?

We will hold an internal postmortem to identify ways to prevent it happening again.
