Firefox 25 doesn't work at ALL for Facebook

I have five computers; three laptops and two desktops. All of them updated to FF 25 within the past 24 hours, and NONE of them work properly on Facebook anymore. It locks up, shows as "not responding" endlessly, or just crashes entirely. ON ALL FIVE COMPUTERS. I've disabled all plugins; mostly I just have stuff like developer tools and Firebug, and it still happens. The pages take up to five minutes to load, if they load at all, and they're never *completely* loaded. I dunno what happened, but I sure hope I can roll it back. I have no problems in Chrome or even IE. But I rely on Firefox as my default browser. Now I have to switch to Chrome. I don't expect a fix, this is more of a report. (I'm not a newbie at this, by the way)

(I get a lot of "not responding" when I try to click on anything)

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
