Website won't load at all, stuck at the blank Twitter bird screen

[sz5ylv1a]

Describe the bug Any type of Twitter/X link refuses to load at all, essentially infinite loading. Only the Twitter bird shown in the screenshot appears. Tried to turn off custom CSS outside of the extensions, and other extensions that modify the site, but they didn't do anything.

Browser Firefox Nightly 128.0a1 (2024-06-09)

Links Affects all pages.

Try turning off tracker protection or extensions that block trackers (like Disconnect)

[t-r-s-a]

simple solution: go back to 1.8.4.5

Same problem on LibreWolf 126.0.1-1. Doesn't work even with Tracking Protection and uBlock disabled.

Unfortunately I dont see anything that would help me debug this

[mateuszbrdon]

In my case, setting tracking protection as above resolved the issues. (I use NoScript, uBlock Origin, and Nano Defender, left them without change - only the above setting had any effect.)

Same problem on LibreWolf 126.0.1-1. Doesn't work even with Tracking Protection and uBlock disabled.

Getting this on LibreWolf too. I suspect it's because RFP is enabled by default, but I can't verify that since even after adding https://abs.twimg.com to the exception list, it doesn't go through. My guess is that somehow it's preventing the addon from fetching the page - cause otherwise, the link it's trying to fetch does work...

Chiming in with my two cents because this happened.

For some strange reason Tracking Protection, when set to disallow trackers, causes an error regarding a security check failing. I disabled the tracker thing and it worked regularly (It also worked when set to inprivate windows, but I want the extension to work there so I just turned it off entirely)
