Url parameters interfering with playerprefs?

I've got a webgl game that lets players make creations, saving them with playerprefs.

I also added a way to share those creations with each other, by using a link with some parameters in the url -- basically like "https://basicsite.com/thegame.html?creation=abc123"

What I'm running into is a problem where in some browsers (firefox on mac), this seems to be treated as a different url for playerprefs purposes. So if someone uses that link, they won't find their saves. On the flip side, if they make *new* saves to playerprefs while at that url, it will be gone when they reload the game with the standard url.

In some browsers (chrome on mac), this doesn't happen, it all saves fine.

I'm curious if other folks have run into this before -- I'm not having much success googling. And if there are any tricks folks might know to get around this.

Thanks!

 

You must have the saving disabled while visiting another player? I have a game with similar functions and I have to transfer the URL parameter into the actual iframe embed code url, which just takes a few extra lines above the embedded game. Then when the game starts it won't initialize the load/save function if the player is visiting a another player.
And if the url is clean it will do a basic load from file.

 

Actually don't have to do that, it's just how I ended up doing it
The challenge was that the game/ iframe couldn't access the browser url. But the page can access the iframe. So have to make sure to tell the game about the url parameters before it does any load function. (Interacting with browser code) : I guess I could put it in a var on the site that the game has access to, doesn't have to be the src.
