What do I need to do to see twitter widgets?

When I create a twitter widget after logging into my twitter account, it doesn't preview when using Firefox. If I log on with other browsers it is there. Is there a setting in Firefox that is preventing me from seeing it?

Hello,

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.

You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).

Then perform these steps:

  • Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
  • In the Firefox options window click the Advanced tab, then select "General".
  • In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
  • Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:

There's a plugin called "do not track me". When active, the twitter timeline widgets won't show. You'll have to disable it if you're working on your design or css. or you can "allow twitter" in the plugin's options.

Hi, I have this same problem. Are you suggesting that I install this plug-in to fix the twitter timeline not showing? Thanks, Laura

No, it's the contrary. This plugin causes the twitter widget NOT to show. You must stop the plugin (or allow "twitter" in the plugin's options).
