Twitter problems?
Today Twitter isn't loading their page and is giving me the error message:
"Something went wrong, but don’t fret — let’s give it another shot."
with a Try Again button. It's not working. (worked last night)
I tried it on latest Firefox and it works fine.
29.1.1 32b on 64b WIndows 10

Re: Twitter problems?
I had the same problem suddenly occur, and it was fixed by changing the useragent override for twitter.
In about: config find general.useragent.override.twitter.com
I changed it to this value:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0
which works for me. It was a string i had listed for another site, I have no idea if it's a good one or if there are better ways of solving the problem. But it worked for me.

Re: Twitter problems?
I had the same issue with twitter today, fortunately the solution was simple. Thank you very much Plume.

And for the third thread in an hour...
Apparently more Live A/B testing

Re: Twitter problems?
I noticed the same thing but I don't use Twitter very much so I just thought Twitter might be down. 2 days later I was still getting the same error, so I tried Firefox and it worked fine. Apparently Twitter did something that breaks Palemoon?
As someone else pointed out, you can fix the problem by adding a useragent.override
