Firefox no longer allows me to pin on Pinterest from Facebook.

I am getting these messages:

"Forbidden (403) CSRF verification failed. Request aborted. More information is available with DEBUG=True " 

I am able to pin from Chrome. I cleared cookies from Firefox and even reinstalled it, and am still getting the above message. Please help! I prefer Firefox to Chrome, but will use Chrome if this can't be fixed.

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 or otherwise make changes.

Try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.

If you've had your Pin It button for a long time, could you try removing it and re-adding it from the Pinterest page to see whether the current version avoids this problem?

Possibly related question: New update is blocking wanted pop-ups such as pinterest, which I actively use to promote my business, how do I fix this? I tried "disable protection on page".
