I don't think it's Firefox because I also use it! There's some weird stuff going on with progression which seems largely random from person to person, with the added complexity that I can't replicate any individual case 😅 I'm gunna have a look at it tomorrow, but it's gunna take a minute as far as fixes go. My running theory is that it has something to do with the (history:) array breaking everything, as the game can only move forward so long as the (history:) array does not contain the passage the player is on (preventing an initial bug wherein navigating to the stats page and then back would erroneously increment the count again). My running theory is that this is breaking the game in fun new ways for different people, so we're gunna try to work around that ;;

That makes sense. Thanks for the response! Will you possibly consider making external saves in the game a thing at any point by chance? I'd be really interested in being able to transfer my saves across browsers in the future. Thank you again!

Edit: I've fiddled with some various settings on Firefox, mostly disabling an extension I seemed to forget to disable (the Tampermonkey Firefox extention was breaking it, in case anyone runs into the same issue) and it's working so yay! Thank you again for the reply. I'm in love with everything so far. Thank you for all the hard work in this and your other projects! I've been a following your work for a while and your writing is really just 100/10.

Oh! Weirdly I'm glad it was an extension doing it ;; although it also could just be the luck of the draw ;; I'm going over the incrementation with a fine tooth comb to try and make it function without issues anyway !! And external saves aren't something that Twine does. I could probably build something that would imitate it, but that's a lot of work for something that's too....variable to work for everyone, you know? That's why I made build a save !! So you won't have to play through from the start every single time.

I didn't actually know that wasn't a thing with twine, good to know though! The build a save is a nice feature and definitely something I wish I saw more often.

Dipping back in to report that in theory, the bug has been fixed !! I'm not sure if it was your extension or luck of the draw, but hopefully you won't encounter progression loops again !!
