Firefox does not display Facebook feed
There are a number of old threads regarding this and having worked through them it is still unresolved. 1) I have cleared cache/cookies 2) I have disabled all extensions 3) I have turned off tracking 4) I have tried in safe mode - still the same.
This is not just on one website - it is on ALL that have Facebook feeds. It is NOT just on my laptop - I have asked others to try - they have the same result - blank page. ...so please don't suggest re-installing Firefox!!
An example is: https://dragonsdensoftplay.co.uk/News-Events/news-events.html
The feed works ok in other browsers.
Thank you

Do you have other content blocking extensions as you need to disable those as well ? (extensions come first and after that Firefox ETP can block content, so you need to disable both)
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages about blocked content.

Did you also check threads like these about FB issues ?
- /questions/1362205 Firefox stops displaying images in Facebook, only shows a description.
Recently (the last fortnight) I occasionally get a blank page when opening the Facebook feed. Clicking the reload button corrects the problem. (FWIW)
Read just about every thread I can find.....clicking reload button makes no difference......even if I clear laptop and Firefox cache.
Any other suggestions???
Is it a local issue or a general Firefox problem? Do others see a Facebook feed when loading: https://dragonsdensoftplay.co.uk/News-Events/news-events.html
If displaying, what version of FF is being used (I am on v100.0.2) 64 bit.
thanks
I don't see any Facebook feed on that page. There is a notice which may be relevant (see screenshot attached). I disabled then re-enabled Enhanced Tracking Protection so the page reloaded twice.
Strange,,,that is a post from a little way down the acebook feed.(compare it with the feed on Chrome....)
If you do not see embedded Facebook content then this is usually blocked as part of blocking social media content.
I see the Face book iframe when I disable Enhanced Tracking Protection via the shield icon.
Thanks for that - already had tried....tried again..and also made sure ublock Origin is OFF. Cleared Cache.....but still not showing(!). What version of FF are you using? I have latest 100.0.2 64 bit.

Thank you for the detailed response. Working one by one the culprit is uBlockOrigin.... Still don't see a purple shield re Enhanced Tracking Protection....but hey.....thank you. The other thing I don't understand is that it did not display when I started Firefox in Safe mode.....but maybe I misses that Enhanced Tracking Protection still comes on?
Anyway, at least I know the cause now!
