I am new to JavaScript. So on a Debian install of Firefox, running the index in the Npm install of jsCoq I receive a "Failed to start jsCoq worker." Passing in "--allow-file-access-from-files" does not work on Firefox. Why?

On Chromium with this argument, it loads, but then fails in another way:

Package 'coq' is missing (file:///home/jordan/code/web_coq/node_modules/jscoq/coq-pkgs/coq.json: not found (0))

coq.json is definitely there.

Likely the documentation is out of date, recent browser versions have turned the --allow-file-access stuff into a no op

you could try serving your directory with for example npm's http-server

Using the file:// scheme is a bit broken in most browsers. Since the JS side is using fetch(), I suspect that depending on the browser implementation, it may not be willing to give you access to the file (the flag should in principle allow it, but :shrug:)
