Twitter embeds not displaying on firefox

Found it, it was this config set to Strict. It works on Standard.

You can click the shield on the left side of the URL bar to turn off ETP for one site or another.

Also, I read somewhere that custom settings are recommended (with everything checked) and choose "all cross-site cookies".

You'll need uBlock Origin or similar to block ads in both the webpage and anything embedded.

The problem is that cross-site cookies won't be blocked. To avoid that, I had to use the multi-account containers addon.

You want to block ads in embedded tweets but not in this website?

You can add this to about:config.

urlclassifier.features.socialtracking.skipURLs = *.twitter.com, *.twimg.com
urlclassifier.trackingSkipURLs = *.twitter.com, *.twimg.com

Then go to twimg.com and twitter.com and disable cookies & persistent storage for them.

You'll be able to to turn on tracking protection with the embeds visible, while not letting them actually track you.

I've been on this forum for five years and I've never had Twitter posts properly embed. Would like to try this but I'm a bit retarded. Could you give more specific instructions?

Could you give more specific instructions?

Open a new page and navigate to about:config. Linking to it won't work so you have to open it manually.

Copy over the first setting's name, select 'String' and click the '+' button on the right hand side. Then do the same for the other key. The value is the same.

Then go to twitter.com, go to site information -> more information -> site permissions and disable cookies and site data. Do the same for twimg.com.

When I turn cookies off for Twitter, it doesn't allow me to access the website. Is that normal? Also, how do I open Page Info for twimg.com? When I search for the website so I can open up page.info, it doesn't work. That is probably because it's not a real website right? How do I open the permissions/page info for a website that I'm not currently on?

Yes. Use this addon and don't use the website directly.

Followed your instructions but it still isn't working properly. Here is what I put into my about:config.

I also did the other one. When I pressed string and then plus, it gave an empty bar like I needed to type something. I just pressed the checkmark. Did I do that correctly? When I click an embed it succesfully redirects me to the nitter page.

Followed your instructions but it still isn't working properly. Here is what I put into my about:config.

Put only the key into this box. Select 'String' and '+', and only then input the value (again, not the entire key).

#	Key	Value
1.	urlclassifier.features.socialtracking.skipURLs	*.twitter.com, *.twimg.com
2.	urlclassifier.trackingSkipURLs	*.twitter.com, *.twimg.com

You are an absolute legend! Thank you very much for your patience and help. it honestly feels so strange actually seeing embeds after years of not be able to.

As a side note, sometimes I can't see images either, and it's a series of numbers that I have to right click on and press "open image in new tab" to view. Any idea why that happens?

Maybe it's an intermittent failure and you just have to reload the page.

 

[EccentricLecher]

Why would anyone ever want to see anything from Twitter? There's nothing worthwhile there.

 

[Twiglard]

Name	Value
urlclassifier.features.socialtracking.skipURLs	*.twitter.com, *.twimg.com
urlclassifier.trackingSkipURLs	*.twitter.com, *.twimg.com, www.redditmedia.com, *.reddit.com, *.vk.com, vk.com

Updated version for Codex embeds.

Twiglard I can see Twitter embeds but when I click the link, I can't see the actual page. I keep getting "Tweet not found" error. Something to do with new Twitter API or?

You might have the nitter redirect addon enabled or something. Other than that it's the fault of Twitter.

 

[Caim]

Speaking of, would it be possible to allow Nitter embeds just like Twitter embeds? Or is that not possible because of how Nitter works?
