Facebook features stopped working (META)

[BenFenner]

We won't be rushing the release of Pale Moon 28 just because Facebook decided to roll out breaking changes.

As someone who is suffering more and more Facebook problems over the past couple days (just like everyone else it seems), I'm very happy to hear that this won't be rushing the Pale Moon 28 release. Give it the time it deserves, and we will complain to Facebook about their broken site in the meantime.

I've submitted a ticket to Facebook, for those who want to do the same, you should be able to get somewhere using this link:

https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/1770593996531516

It might seem photo related, but you should be able to submit a ticket about anything from there.
I also submitted to their "browser suggestion" page that their solution didn't work for me, and to start officially supporting Pale Moon.

One alternative you can try is changing the useragent overrides in about:config

As I posted in the initial message, unfortunately that doesn't help, at all.

I tried using Firefox's 56 (where its working) UAS, tried using Opera's (where is also working) and even tried latest Chrome - none made a single difference.

If it helps in any way, this is what I see in the console when loading Facebook:

Code: Select all

SyntaxError: in strict mode code, functions may be declared only at top level or immediately within another function 6q9ACICCm4X.js:190:1255

By opening "messenger.com", I get only this (no CORS warning):

If I inspect the comment box element, it shows this:

And if I click on that 'bunch of letters' it shows me a javascript function:

Code: Select all

return function() {
  var d = b in g ? g[b](a, c) : a;
  for (var e = arguments.length, f = new Array(e), h = 0; h < e; h++) f[h] = arguments[h];
  return d.apply(this, f)
}

I know all that probably won't help - but I'm pasting hoping it could. And believe me, If I could find somewhere to complain to Facebook about this, I would... even knowing they'll give the standart reply saying "we only support major browsers"

Never attribute malice where incompetence is possible. Incompetence is almost always the case.

[SLotman]

As a workaround for comments, you can copy the post URL (where it shows the post time), open it on a new window and then replace www.facebook.com with m.facebook.com - leaving the rest of the URL intact.

You'll be able to comment then.

[esoterica3]

Came to forums as I been having same facebook issues. No chats, messenger, and now can't even like / make, or respond to facebook comments.

[zorzi]

Problem seems vanished. Messenger is working fine since this morning.

[visionhelp]

Thanks therube,
(I will have a look to the link later.)
Different the not showing messages (notifications) and blank page - to view all - and rotating circle on and on: NO.
I only had it one day, yesterday, the wednesday: different Yes.

I have good news, just from now, this morning, for (Pale Moon) NewMoon:
The notifications works again.

Perhaps it is in work, from/at Facebook. I have hope now.

Commenting works again, too: typing the letters - which before opened the Search-Line down from (Pale Moon) NewMoon.

And, the messenger seems to be OK again, too.
Everything to see again, and works, sending PN at least, too. Receiving should, too.

Respect and many, many THANKS to Facebook, for this.

(Sorry, the title " ... submit comment" is not correctly, it is/must "typing comment".
"Submit comment" not working was - is (?) - in Firefox.)

EbonJaeger, You are really very right.
And the same is true sadnessly for malice.

Just as others who have posted in this thread experienced the various anomalies at different stages, it will take time for whatever mess FB created and then fixed to make its way to you. It takes time for DNS changes to propagate.

[badnick]

Strange but the problems disappeared.

[BKelley56]

Same here. It seems to be working today where yesterday it did not. Very strange......
