Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com

There were no "issues"; everything was working completely fine. This is a deliberate decision to force people to turn off tracking protection.

I saw a recommendation to use Firefox's container extension https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers, but it's disabled in private browsing windows, and I always use private browsing windows.

The real question is why people are still using that dumpster fire of a website.

This is a feature, not a bug. It's designed to wean you off using twitter.

i have no idea why people who are concerned about privacy would use anything associated with elon musk.

The Gods forbid I try to literally read something

The real question is why people keep using Twitter despite how impossible it is to even visit the website

X can't avoid to seeing a growing amount of middlefingers, at least in the EU.

No this is a hilarious fuckup where they forgot to move twitter.com, pbs.twimg.com and more off of the Twitter domains, so Firefox started blocking it because to Firefox it looks like Social Media trackers.

Mozilla already pushed a fix.

Why would anybody test that first in QA anyway?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Every software project, without exception, has a testing environment.

Some even have a separate production environment too.

Twitter is the second worst app in existence only behind Snapchat.

Fuck Elon. Fuck X. Both are K holes.
