Hello Community,

I have had some issues recently related to Firefox and it not working properly; specifically Facebook since the newest update. A couple days ago the website refused to load at all and continued to show up simply as coding. Yesterday and today the website loads but it does not give me anything in my news feed. It shows two stories and gives me the options of showing more stories but doesn't seem to recognize that I click it when I do. Is anyone else having this issue at all? Facebook works perfectly fine on my phone but I cant get it to work on my desktop.

To add to this I have also had a lot of issues recently with Firefox lagging, crashing and general slowness. Anyone else? is it a bug in the update or could there be additional issues.

Thanks,
