Mozilla released Firefox 81.0.2 today, October 13th, 2020, to the Stable desktop channel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android with a fix for a known issue preventing Twitter's website from loading.
The issue affecting a large number of Firefox users caused the web browser to display blank pages or errors instead of loading Twitter pages on both desktop and mobile devices.
The Firefox 81.0.2 release notes say that this version "Fixed an incompatibility with Twitter.com manifesting itself with the intermittent display of a network protocol violation error page."
You can update to Firefox 81.0.2 by going to Options -> Help -> About Firefox, and the browser will automatically check for the new update and install it when available.
Even though Mozilla didn't share the Firefox versions impacted by this problem, users said [1, 2] that the Twitter loading errors started to appear after updating to Firefox 81.0 last month.
