I updated Firefox, this morning, and now every time I try to log in to facebook... the page comes up blank. Facebook works on Internet Explorer but I do not like using that. Can you please help? I tried uninstalling/installing again, fixing firewalls, etc. None of that is helping.

After upgarde to 3.6.7 today 22/07/2010, then I can not load facebook page. Firefox show blank page when browse http://www.facebook.com.

Same problem.

Firefox on Windows XP auto upgraded this morning, and now www.facebook.com only displays a blank page. Facebook works fine on IE and on iceweasel (3.5.2).

Using Windows Vista 32 bit IE works fine. Tried tweaking Windows Firewall, removing and adding Firefox in applications. running scan for viruses...so far none found.

Its getting ridiculous. This is not the first time FF has been bugged after an update. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it yet? I want to get on Facebook...

After upgarde to 3.6.7 21/07/2010, then I can not load facebook page. Firefox show blank page when browse http://www.facebook.com. I have Win XP After getting back to FF 3.5 nothing hapens. Still load only few pages from facebook (i can't see my profile, but i can reach mail)

Try deleting cookies and cache:

1. Tools| Clear recent history

2. Time range to clear: Everything

3. If it isn't already selected, select Cookies and Cache

4. Clear now

Already did. It affects only for short time - like i can login after to facebook, read email, see main page, but i can't reach my profile, pictures or even who commented my stutus. Helps only a little.

And i can say the exact time when in stoped to work - last msg on my wall i have read yesterday 21:46 Lithuanias time.

cleared cache. worked only for a while. links are not working after a browser refresh.

I'm having the same problem, firefox updated and then suddenly this afternoon it refuses to load facebook. This is more than inconvenient, i have a cousin that i keep in contact with on facebook that is in the hospital with burns from a bunkhouse explosion in canada. That site is the only way i can keep informed of his condition.

Yep, Firefox forced an update and now I can't even log into Facebook (page blank)

This might just be a conincidence, i have the same problem in google chrome and i.e. now, really annoying :-(

Again, having the same problem here. Same problem in Chrome too. However, it works in Internet Explorer. I've fiddled to see if it's a problem with our connection, definitely not.

It will load if I recycle the cache, but then bugs out again.

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.

Hope this helps

Tobozo - can you explain more what to do with agent switcher?

I doesn't work with the User Agents either... This is really pathetic... How is it that they release an update with no compatibility with one of the most important site nowadays....?

Indre,

I attach a screenshot of the settings I've used.

Don't forget to reload the page after changing you user agent ^^

This Facebook glitch sure has something to do with the User-Agent, the same problem occurs on safari-windows too.

Using the safari menu (Development menu / User Agent) and changing the User-Agent to MSIE6 I managed to get the blank page go away too.

be well

tobozo - i was able to conect without deleting catches, but i still can't reach my profile. when i push to go to my profile it shows mouse with hourglass and that's all. Also when i pushed main page http://www.facebook.com/ in my bookmarks list blank page went back :(

I have the same problem - I can see the timelines but if I try to go to my profile or any other profile or see discussions on status updates I get a blank screen.

Facebook works fine in both Chrome and IE8 for me. No issues at all with either one.

Same here, last night I couldn't go to my facebook page. This morning I changed to Internet explorer, it worked for a while but not anymore.
