Instagram hashtag collection not working (search and direct URL) #89

Description
Zeeschuimer is not collecting any data when browsing Instagram hashtag pages. This happens both when using Instagram's built-in search and when navigating directly to a hashtag URL (e.g. instagram.com/explore/tags/[hashtag]).

Collection works normally on the front page feed, so the extension is installed and functioning correctly.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable Instagram capture in Zeeschuimer
  2. Force-refresh the page (Shift + Command + R)
  3. Search for a hashtag using Instagram's search tool, or navigate directly to instagram.com/explore/tags/[hashtag]
  4. Scroll through results using FoxScroller
  5. No items are collected

Expected behavior

Zeeschuimer should collect posts displayed on hashtag pages, as it does on the front page feed.

Actual behavior
Item count remains at zero. No data is captured.

Environment

  • Zeeschuimer version: v1.13.6
  • Browser: Firefox
  • OS: macOS

Notes
I am aware that certain Instagram views are listed as known limitations (e.g. the personalized Explore feed). However, hashtag pages do not appear to be explicitly listed as unsupported, and the issue occurs even via direct URL navigation.
