As the title says. Facebook dont or cant load notifications, i see that there is a new notification but when i click it i can only see "old" notifications and not the ones that recently happend. I've noticed that there is a square in the url when this happens like "#" or "#!" and on other browsers the square dosent show. I've been asking the facebook support also but no answer there, and i believe that there is a problem with my firefox. Im on the latest version, no addons on facebook like greasemonkey or such.. so i cant really get this to work and it is really annoying!

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See:

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
