FAQ / Known Problems

[Q] History telemetry fails to load with error: Error fetching data TypeError: Object.hasOwn is not a function
[A] Update your browser. Or as written in the issue nasa/openmct#4863 :
Change all the lines that look like:
Object.hasOwn(requestProvider, 'request')
to
Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(requestProvider, 'request')
