Facebook Cache & Cookies Causing Loading Issues

I have had an issue that I can't seem to resolve. Facebook seems to stop working after 1 day of not clearing my Cookies and Cache. Images and objects within the GUI will not load. Is something being stored incorrectly? Is there anything I can do to correct this? I don't have a screenshot at the moment, since I just ran through my routine of clearing Cookies and Cache. Has anyone else experienced this?

Below are examples of sharing a memory via messenger and sending a message via messenger. This normally degrades, until I can't even view my Timeline or Home areas at all and the meta description of images starts showing, instead of the images.

Here is a screenshot of the feed starting to fail. Note, I haven't cleared cache/cookies since the last 2 images. Just gets constantly worse, until I need to clear them. Would this be on Facebook's end?

This probably doesn't belong in Firefox Enterprise as people won't see it. I'll try to move it.

I haven't had a problem with Facebook and you may have explained why. I clear the cache and browsing history at the end of each day. I am using the regular browser, 93.0 on a Linux OS.
