uBlock Origins question

[jnelsoninjax]

I use uBlock in FF, but I want to allow sites like Twitter to show, even if I disable uBlock on the page, I still can not seem to get embedded tweets to show up. I am assuming that this has to do with uBlock, but I might be wrong, regardless, how do I allow Twitter, but keep other social media sites blocked (I do not use anything Facebook related, so I do not need to see anything from Facebook). Thanks for any help you can send my way.

please give an example site of these so called embedded tweets.  Are you the same one that said firefox loads pages odd/slow with embedded tweets?

 

I use FF and ublock - be happy to take a look if had an example what you want to happen.

Have you just tried turning off ublock for that single site to test the embedded tweets and verify it is in fact that?

When it loads on my end, all I see is the top picture, and in the middle of the page is an empty space where the tweet loads on Edge and Chrome, and no I was not the one with the other issue

Yes, and it does not load. In fact I do not have any other privacy extensions installed other then HTTPS everywhere.

I just loaded that up and while ublock listed 43 blocks - the page looked fine, and loaded pretty much instant..  I see the embedded tweets like below, I didn't capture the full page because it scrolls down for a real long time..

 

 

Could you post a screenshot how it looks on your end.

I loaded the page and was able to see ALL content. However uBlock does allow one to WHITE LIST any site they want. I trust you have tried this? If not all you would have to do is simply get any sites URL and enter it in uBlock white-list settings. If you have tried this and that failed. How about refreshing the browser if all else fails then I may backup bookmarks and other thing you require and reinstall the browser. Perhaps another extension is in conflict? Do not rule that out as anything can suddenly interfere or corrupt any program or extension. Welcome to the wonderful world of computing where companies and individuals release absolute crap software. I have looked at some of the code for programs and extensions and you would not believe some of code being used! Crap, crap, crap, and some border on out and out spyware/malware. Firefox, Chrome and some of the browsers should be careful with some of the things that are getting past them. Anyway, hope this will help some.

Are you still running adguard on your system?

@Circaflex, No I disabled adguard (system wide) a while ago, it was causing more problems.

This shows the exact same way with uBlock disabled, and even with the website whitelisted.

Have you tried Firefox in Safe Mode to see if it loads properly? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

OK, it works fine in safe mode... so is uBlock causing the problem, even when it's disabled?

[Circaflex]

Sounds like something else, perhaps a corrupted profile. @Budman had no such issues with Firefox and Ublock, nor did I when I tested with Ublock and HTTPS.

 

Could also be a filter list causing the issue. You say it works fine in Chrome with uBlock, I would compare your filter lists between Chrome and Firefox. Quite possibly, you have enabled a filter list on Firefox that you did not enable on Chrome. If there are no differences, you would need to play the process of elimination game and here is how I would go about it:

 

Uninstall Firefox

Wipe the profile folder

Reinstall the newest Firefox

Test webpage.

If the page is OK, start adding your stuff back to Firefox

Sign into Firefox sync, let it complete a sync

Test Webpage

If it still works, move on

Install uBlock

Test webpage, etc

So I exported the settings from Chrome's uBlock and imported it into Firefox's uBlock, but strangely enough I go to the site I mentioned here earlier and it still does not work within Firefox. My next step is to create a new profile.

[jnelsoninjax]

I went ahead and created a new profile, but now the issue is nothing will load. I keep getting connection not secure messages from every site including Neowin, Google, and even Mozilla... so I really do not know what is going on, can someone point me in the right direction?
