Cant access "X" website .... get message that says Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection (strict mode) is known to cause issues on X.com

unable to load X.com. Shows Firefox Enhanced Tracking as "strict". in FireFox settings, it show i'm at "standard, not Strict". Have refreshed tabs as instructed. No change. Still cant load X.com.

Since upgrading Firefox I am having problems with web sites i.e. banking where I have never had problems before, buttons no longer work or refuse to enable the following script, meaning I have to use Microsoft Edge to get anything done. I'm led to believe this problem is caused by Enhanced Tracking Protection, and having turned off Ad Blockers this would seem to be the case. Firefox advice is not to turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection and to visit a page to see those sites blocked, well I'm not doing that am I. I'd rather not switch to another browser as I've been using it since the early days of Mozilla but if this continues I may have to.

Greetings...

I use Firefox web browser for all of my web browsing. For years now, I have configured my Firefox web browser with STRICT Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled. As a result, ads have not appeared on any of the website web pages that I visit. For privacy concerns, I prefer not to use an ad blocker add on.

Within the past week or two, ads now appear on web pages that I visit, despite STRICT Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled. I have not made any configuration changes to my Firefox web browser, other than installing the customary updates from Firefox.

Currently, my Firefox web browser version is 152.0.6 (64-bit). It is my hunch that one of the Firefox updates I received in the past week or two is the source of the ads now appearing on website web pages that I visit. Has anyone else encountered this same problem?

Please advise if there is a solution/fix that I could apply to my Firefox web browser to restore the ad blocking that STRICT Enhanced Tracking Protection used to provide me with.

Thank you for your assistance! Take care...

I have been a dedicated user and promoter of Fire Fox and Mozilla; but recently getting very frustrated, when following all directions, cannot STOP Firefox from blocking specific or ALL websites; should be given choices, should be clearly explained and yes, your systems have said click on Shield, but that DOES nothing!

Would appreciate a fix in details by people running the system, and know that suggestion will be simple fix and clearly understood. Thanks.

I would like to stream a TV show series on a website. The message on the website is to disable ad blocker and/or add their site to a list which allows ads. I don't know of such a list. Disabling Firefox content blocker hasn't made a difference to being blocked from the site's content.

wenn ich in der Suche eine Webadresse eingebe, kommen Vorschläge. Klicke ich dann eine Webadresse an,dreht der Kreis von Adresse neu laden. in der Chronik sind zig Einträge: https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DC...=1&rdrflb=1&rdrflb=1&rdrflb= dies geht so weiter,bis ich abbreche. wer kann helfen?

Everytime I restart and open firefox and then try to access facebook, sometimes google, n=some news websites and probably other apps, I get a captcha, but it repeats no matter how many times I get it right.

I was advised to do this, but it's still happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fX0_wiVKhw

But even that's stopped working.

I cannot access facebook and I need it for work (small org, no IT section to ask), and can't access some new sites.

I've gone to basic security settings, but that doesn't help.

What to do?

Firefox won't let me access my bookmark accounts due to Enhanced Tracking . Says site is not secure and at risk . How do I get back to a previous version of Firefox or turn of the enhanced tracking ?

I have been reading about turning off enhanced tracking protection permanently; HOWEVER, the solution does not work. Going to privacy and security, clicking custom and turning everything off still does not shut the thing off fully. The shield in the browser is still active and I constantly have to still turn it off I even had to turn it off to get on this site. That is pretty sad when the makers of the browser block their own site using enhanced tracking protection. Is this another case ( i've seen thousands) where some sortware nerd is trying to show how clever he /she is at coding and in fact messes everything up? WHY DO YOU SIMPLY REMOVE THE TRACKING PROTECTION ENTIRELY... IT'S SO ANNOYING.

btw: none of the enhancements like Bold or Italic work on this site either.. great job..../s

Just checking Facebook "download your information" and got this:

```

     {
       "timestamp": 1781017200,
       "label_values": [
         {
           "label": "Date",
           "value": "2026-06-09"
         },
         {
           "label": "Business or organization",
           "value": "Firefox",
           "description": "The business or organization that added you to a Custom Audience"
         }
       ]
     },

```

Is this actual Firefox passing my info to Meta, or some Meta scammer pretending to be Firefox?

On that date, I had Global Privacy Control turned on in Firefox.

Morning.....I subscribe to PennLive.com (part of the Patriot News group in PA) and have a paid subscription. For several years, there were no ads with a paid subscription. I also have set up on Firefox a custom anti-tracker which blocks cookies, ads and the like. it works on most sites. However, on Penn Live I am getting all sorts of ads jumping around many of which are just plain gross. Ads for belly and arm fat (with pictures), drinks for brain health etc. How do I fix this? What other protections do I need to add on Firefox? This needs to stop and contacting Penn Live has not made a difference. Thanks.
