I am using an M3 MacBook Air, macOS 26.2, Google Chrome 145.0.7632.117 (Official Build) (arm64), and a Dirtywave M8 model:02 connected to the MacBook Air via the USB-C cable that came with the M8. When I went to https://m8.run/ in Chrome (around 11pm PST on Feb 25, 2026), I was expecting to see a "firmware" menu item when opening the menu from the three-line button. However, that menu item is missing. I'm attaching a screenshot of the M8 webpage with the menu opened.

I don't have much ability to debug HTML, CSS, and Javascript, but I cloned the M8WebDisplay repository at https://github.com/derkyjadex/M8WebDisplay.git and spent some time looking through the files, trying to find a condition that might prevent the inclusion/display of the "firmware" menu item. I don't see any obvious obstacles. What came to mind as pure guesses was a disagreement over a file path, or a file case-sensitivity issue. I don't see any references to TyTools within the M8WebDisplay repository, however, and at first glance it appears that the firmware updating logic is all handled by the M8WebDisplay resources and Chrome itself.

I also took a look through Console.app, focusing on the Chrome process, and didn't see any potentially related error messages. I tried some search terms in Console such as "M8", "firmware", "js", "javascript".
