I see that this site uses cache and localstorage in private browsing mode. Even though localstorage is supported in private browsing mode; cache is not yet supported and I think this bug should rather block https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1714354 which is specifically to support cache in private browsing mode.

I see that the page is able to load correctly after the support for cacheAPI and IDB landed for private windows.
