Recently, most images on Facebook have stopped loading for me. Sometimes it’s just a few images. Other times it’s almost all images. The longer I scroll, the worse it gets. Today, I couldn’t even see my own pictures. Are any other Firefox users having this problem, or maybe it’s a server issue on Facebook’s end?

    I keep telling everyone that they’re ruining the internet by using and supporting chrome instead of Firefox. I keep telling them that Firefox user experience is at par with or better than Chrome’s. But then I realize that I don’t use FB, Google (besides occasional searches) or any of the similar suspects. Bad experience on Firefox seems to be uniquely tied to these bad actors, perhaps because it isn’t as easy to track users on it (with the help of plugins like uBO). People really need to de-addict themselves from these spyware services and software. Or we are all doomed.

    @TheBaldness whatever service is degrading for me and have an alternative to is a service that I have an incentive to stop using. Friendica is so much better than Facebook. I never expected I would use it the way I use it today.

      I don’t use Facebook. Unfortunately, my neighbors use it to communicate. That’s the only reason I have it. I’ve also used the marketplace, but prefer Craigslist.

    I wouldn’t worry about it too much. The Facebook experience is degrading for all users.

      I imagine they’d rather you use their mobile apps than navigate to the website via a browser. They can collect more data on you that way.

      Actually I like my facebook experience. I just mostly do not use Facebook anymore. I agree though, when I do go on it is nuts.
