Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug? You need to click very fast from one component to another component on the canvas and you will receive a js error "too much recursion" and the html content is gone.
The error is shown in line 1627 model/component.js with method "ensureinlist". We have several customer reporting this issue.

Thanks for reporting this, @flowize-project.
Great question about Firefox issue when the user clicks on different component very fast. The recommended approach with Canvas is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
