Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com

There were no “issues”; everything was working completely fine. This is a deliberate decision to force people to turn off tracking protection.

I saw a recommendation to use Firefox’s container extension https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers, but it’s disabled in private browsing windows, and I always use private browsing windows.

    Until the creators of the content you need switch, it’s one of if not the hub where the content is.

    This would be easy to “solve” from the reader end if Nitter was still operational, but I haven’t heard from the project or from any alternative in ages.

      If you stop going to twitter to see the content, the creators would be forced to move. How important can the content be?

        Dunno! I haven’t been to Twitter since Elon bought it and activated our scorched-earth protocols. Twitter hasn’t been accessible on any device in our network since then.

      The project was using a way to bypass requiring a backing account to proxy the requests, but the API update broke that

      The instances that chose (and choose) to go the extra mile by creating and maintaining proxy account(s) are the ones still working

      If the instance gets too popular the twitter goons quickly figure out what the proxy account is and ban it, though. So it’s a constant game of cat and mouse.
