You mean the browser?
I’ve tried five browsers on two PCs, so what would incognito mode do?
Incognito mode ignores all cached information.
It is a way to test if it is a browser cache issue or if it is an issue with the page.
Five browsers, two PCs- it’s not a cache problem. But, yes I did try it on two browsers.
The common mode of the failures is opening the add-on from the “OPEN WEB UI” link or “Show in Taskbar”.
I have fallen into that trap a few times.
Sometimes something is changed in HA that have not been touched in years and if those browsers have just once visited the HA webpage then it will have cached the original setup and will fail when it sees the change.
And I have also seen cache issue that I could not solve.
I just switched to lovelace_gen and that is a major rewrite of the dashboards, so I decided to clear all cached data for my HA webpage, yet it still failed when visiting in normal mode, but not in incognito.
I checked again and again settings when deleting to make sure that it was not just for a period I deleted, but for all time, that it was not just a single URL, but for all possible URLs.
I have a cleaner on my browser, so my list of stored URLs is pretty short, so I could manually go through every one.
I even checked on the actual files in the cache folder and deleted there.
Nothing worked, except for incognito.
I ended up deleting the entire cache for all sites and that finally did the trick.
I had other browsers, but they all did the same.
I found the reinstalling browsers did often little good, because the cache is not always deleted on uninstalling, which is probably to have it survive upgrades.
So I now always test with incognito mode to rule cache issues out.
There must be somewhere we can flag this to the dev team? It’s really annoying!
added some details to the issue here.
I had exactIy the same issue
I found a solution:
- in Home Assistant, nodered panel, go to palette, and update node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket and all others nodes with an update available. there is a button for any update available.
- restart nodered module in HA
- clear cache
buttons on inject and debug node become active and work perfecly !
hope it will help you

Thank you very much.
