Facebook says "redirect"

Hi, folks- Starting today, I cannot access Facebook with Firefox, although I can access any other site. Flickering message in upper left corner says "redirecting", but seems caught in a loop. I have no other browser installed to test with. Shall I install "Edge", and MS wants me to, just to see if it's specifically Firefox? Running W10. Thanks, much, for you help. In the meantime, I'll enjoy a break from Facebook. -J.

Do you use the Facebook Container extension?

If not...

How do you normally access Facebook? You might try another one, such as:

Do you have Firefox set to log in to Facebook automatically, either using the built-in Lockwise password manager or an add-on password manager?

Oh, one other thought: there are some extensions that could switch from the new Facebook design back to the old one. Users are reporting that those are causing problems now, but I didn't read those threads in detail to know if none of them are working or only certain ones have issues.

Okay, that worked, jsher. First, I was able to get into FB, using the specific "numitea" link, and then I D/Cd the "retro" version of FB I was using. Problem solved- seemingly. Thanks for your help, and be well. -J.
