Before the forced update of firefox i was able to log into facebook without a problem. This afternoon i tried logging into facebook and it takes me to a blank page or just sits and does nothing. When i use Safari to log into facebook it works fine.

Just change the User Agent and it'll be fixed

I use the Firefox addon 'User Agent Switcher' and setting the 'Internex Explorer 6 (WinXP)' solved the blank page problem for me.

same problem.

Same issue, clearing the cache and everything works as a temporary fix, but it quickly stops working again. Other pages on facebook work, such as viewing peoples' photo albums and some help pages. It's primarily the home and my profile page that doesn't work.

Or I should say "had" the same problem. Just came back from lunch and checked and Facebook is working now. Something must've changed. Not sure what, but at least it's working now.
