A Facebook Link Does Not Load in Latest Firefox Version

In the latest Firefox (102.0.1) I can no longer go directly to this link: https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr

The Facebook page only loads if I go to www.facebook.com, then click to "Most Recent." However, if I right click "Most Recent" and tell it to open in a new tab, it does not load the page.

I had a previous Firefox version, not sure how far back but it was a few, and this link worked fine.

I tested by turning off my add-ons.

The link works in Microsoft Edge.

I am using Windows 10, with latest updates..

You can check for issues with Total Cookie Protection.

You can try these steps in case of issues with webpages:

You can reload webpage(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.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 for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Settings).

"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:

  • Settings -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Data"

"Clear the Cache":

  • Settings -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> [X] Cached Web Content -> Clear

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

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