Redwood: Firefox bug and “Something went wrong in browser”: Router regex not supported in Firefox
The reroute function generates Regexes that use named capture groups: https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/7a5cc6733f54a9ac49356c609e996884517022d2/packages/router/src/util.js#L33
This isn't supported in Firefox (and probably a lot of other browsers) and causes examples to break there with "invalid regexp" errors. You'll probably need to either polyfill it with Babel or switch off of named capture groups.

Looks like a similar issue in the forum with some browser console output:

Currently we do NOT have a fix for this. Please use alternate browser for now.

Not to get our hopes up about a FF fix coming just in time, but there's been activity on their upstream issue as of 15 days ago:
