Hi there! That error message "Looks like we left this page in the oven too long" usually indicates some kind of timeout or loading issue in the Papa John's app. To help fix this, can you tell me a bit more about how you’re using the app on your Linux device? For example:

- Are you accessing the app through a web browser or a standalone app?
- Which browser and version are you using if it’s through a browser?
- Have you tried clearing your browser cache or cookies recently?
- Is your internet connection stable when this happens?

Starting with these details will help me guide you to a solution that fits your setup. Let me know!

Firefox, desktop, also other browsers. Cleared Cache, still broke. It is your site, 4 months now.

Thanks for sharing those details. Since you’re using multiple browsers like Firefox on Linux and have already cleared cache without success, it sounds like the issue might be deeper than the usual cache or cookie problems.

Here’s what I suggest next to try and resolve this:

1. Try Firefox in Private/Incognito Mode
This disables extensions and uses a clean session. If the site loads there, then one of your add-ons or cookies might be causing interference.

2. Disable All Browser Extensions Temporarily
Some extensions can block scripts or content vital to the Papa John’s site. Try disabling these (like ad blockers or privacy tools) and reload the page.

3. Check Network Permissions and Firewalls
On Linux, ensure your firewall or network settings aren’t blocking scripts from PapaJohns.com domains. If you’re behind a VPN or proxy, try turning those off temporarily.

4. Flush Firefox DNS Cache
In Firefox, type about:networking#dns in the address bar, then click "Clear DNS Cache." Sometimes stale DNS entries can cause loading failures.

5. Try a Different User Profile in Firefox
Creating a new Firefox profile with no customizations can help see if the existing profile data is corrupted.

6. Update Firefox to the Latest Version
Make sure you have the latest stable release of Firefox on your Linux system.

If none of these steps get the Papa John’s site working, there may be a persistent backend issue on their servers affecting certain configurations, which unfortunately would requirePapa John's development team to fix.

If you'd like, I can also pass this issue along to our higher-level support team to investigate server-side problems or compatibility issues further. Would you like me to do that?

Meanwhile, you might find temporary ordering easier through our mobile app if you have a smartphone.

Let me know how these steps go or if you'd like me to escalate!

Thanks for letting me know you’ve already tried all those steps including dev mode with no cache. That really helps narrow it down.

I found some info that often the Papa John’s app or site might block usage or have issues if developer mode is enabled on a device, particularly on mobile. For desktop browsers this is less common, but since you’re running in dev mode, something similar might be affecting the site’s scripts or loading. Sometimes the app/site detects dev tools or dev environment as potential tampering and then refuses to fully load, showing timeout or error messages instead.

Here’s what I suggest next:

1. Exit Developer Mode in Your Browser — Close dev tools entirely and reload the page without dev tools open. Some sites block content if dev tools are active.

2. Try with Developer Tools Open But Not Reloading the Page — Open dev tools after the page loads to test if the block is triggered only on initial page load.

3. Test in a Different Linux User Account or a Fresh Browser Profile — Just to rule out any profile or environment-specific interference with developer tools.

4. Look for Console Errors — If you are comfortable, when dev tools are open and the error page appears, check the Console tab for any error messages, especially related to blocked scripts, security policies, or failed network requests. These can give clues.

5. Contact Papa John’s Support for Developer Mode Incompatibility — If the above don’t help, given how long this has been ongoing, it may require their engineers to fix site compatibility with dev mode. I can escalate this detail on your behalf.

If you want, I can help you gather logs or screenshots from dev tools console errors to send to our support team for faster diagnosis. Would you like me to assist with that?

Meanwhile, if ordering is urgent, using the official Papa John’s mobile app on a smartphone or a non-dev mode environment might be the best workaround.

Let me know if you want to proceed with checking console errors or escalate! Are you happy with this next step plan?
