Sorry for reddit link, only place I found confrimation of the information by now.

Got the surprise of twitter/X not allowing access on Firefox with message :

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

The solution there (adding an exception for x.com) works. I already had Twitter containerized.

Interesting... Twitter started working again for me as soon as I created a new container for it. I didn't have to add an exception.

I have Firefox's "Enhanced Tracking Protection" set to "Custom", with all boxes checked. And I'm running uBlock Origin.

Is it ? If you add an exception, won't you be tracked by all X icons on every other websites ?

Good point. You're isolating your logged in session but not the fingerprinting.
