facebook page not showing older posts

Hello. In the past few weeks (and on other occasions in the past year), Firefox is not showing older posts in Facebook. The page only goes down to a certain point and then all the posts stop. The message on the page says "Show Older Posts", but when I click on that, it does nothing. I've used other browsers such as Chrome, Internet Explorer and Edge and I don't have that problem so it's definitely a Firefox glitch. Also, in some instances with Firefox, videos and photos don't load and I'm left with blank boxes. I have started using other browsers as a result even though Mozilla has been my favorite for many years. Please help me solve this problem so that I can stick with Mozilla Firefox and not have to resort to using other browsers that I don't like as much. Thank you.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the cache and remove the cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"Clear the cache:

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove the cookies" from websites that cause problems.

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> "Use custom settings for history" -> Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Thank you both for your responses, PkShadow and Cor-el. Both your solutions worked temporarily, but the last one I tried that worked instantaneously was Cor-el's suggestion of using Shift while Reloading the page. If I can do this on the spot and have it work, it's the easiest solution. Thank you both so much for your help.
