Mozilla shares fix for Twitter not working on Firefox
2020-10-06 16:14

Mozilla published a support document with a quick fix for a widely reported known issue causing Twitter not to load on the Firefox web browser.

According to a bug Mozilla has been tracking and working on fixing for the last 20 days, some users might see blank pages or errors when trying to visit the social network's website, with some reports also saying that the issue also affects mobile users.

"The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected," the error adds.

While Mozilla hasn't shared the Firefox versions affected by this problem, affected users say [1, 2] that the loading errors have started to appear on both mobile and desktop devices after updating to Firefox 81.0 last month.

"There is a known temporary issue on Firefox that causes a blank or error page when loading Twitter," Mozilla explains in the support document published earlier.
