I just installed my operating system (Ubuntu Linux 12.04, KDE desktop) three days ago, and installed Firefox yesterday. When I go to my Twitter feed, I get a bar at the top of the page saying "Sorry! We did something wrong. Please refresh the page and try again." Refreshing doesn't change anything. At the same time, my feed won't update, and scrolling down the page doesn't bring bring up more tweets, just an error message saying:

Loading Tweets seems to be taking a while.

Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.

This does not happen in Chrome or Rekonq. I've checked all my add-ons, cleared my history, cache and cookies. I don't know what else to do. Help?

What worked for me was to delete all cookies in Firefox, and then log in again to Twitter. Options > Privacy > clear you recent history. Ask it to clear everything and untick all but cookies.
