Key notes
Twitter is a social media platform that needs no introduction. It’s a massively popular website that has around465.1 million active users as of April 2022. A marketing team could potentially reach six percent of the global population.
Firefox is one of the most popular browsersin the United States with a 3.48 percent market share. So naturally, people hop on Firefox to check out their Twitter page and see what people complaining about for the day.
However, sometimes Twitter will suddenly not work on Firefox thereby leaving you out of the feed of cute cats. This guide will show you how to fix Twitter not working on Firefox.
But before fixing it, it’s important to know why it stopped working in the first place.
Quick Tip:
Open Twitter from a different browser. We recommend Opera One because it has a dedicated social-media sidebar where Twitter is pre-installed. You just have to enter your credentials.
You can expand/hide the sidebar from any webpage to quickly check your feed or add a new tweet. The browser lets you connect to other social media apps as well and includes a VPN, an adblocker, and more.
Opera One
Why is Twitter not working in Firefox?
There are multiple reasons why Twitter stops working. There may be some kind of problem with the browser’s cache getting in the way or an extension mucking things up.
Other times,Firefox’s own security measuresget in the way so you’ll have to disable them although it’s not recommended that you do so. You should also check if your internet connection is working.
Obviously, if your internet connection doesn’t work, then you can’t connect to Twitter.
How do I get Twitter to open in Firefox?
1. Clearing cache
2. Disable extensions
3. Disable SmartBlock
4. Change tracking protection
5. Unregister Twitter
Why some websites are not opening in Firefox?
For other websites that aren’t opening in Firefox, it all comes down to the same issues. Bad internet connection, the browser cache is full, or the security features are in the way.
The solutions for those websites are exactly the same as the guide you just read. Clearing out the cache and disabling the right extensions will solve the vast majority of your problems.
Mozilla even has a page on their Supportwebsite saying the same thing. As a last-ditch effort, you can try reinstalling Firefox. And if that doesn’t work, use a different browser.
Feel free to comment below if you have any questions on the above procedures. We’re eager to help.
