ABP causes Facebook to only load a white page

Post by SueWitch »

Windows 7.1 X64. Yesterday Firefox updated to 56.0.1 64 bit from previous 56.0.0 32 bit. ABP updated to 2.99.0.1877 beta today October 10. Now I cannot load any Facebook pages unless I disable ABP and restart Firefox. All Facebook pages load only a white page, Memory usage goes up to 81% could have gone higher if I let it (I closed the tab then) CPU usage goes up and up, yet nothing loads. I had no problem displaying Facebook pages 2 days ago. I do not have a Facebook account, just go to business or NGO website FB pages.

Filter lists are Easy List and AdBlock Warning Removal list, both updated today

Here are my added Facebook filters

facebook.com##._5ctm
facebook.com###pagelet_growth_expanding_cta
facebook.com###dialog_0
facebook.com##.timelineLoggedOutSignUp
facebook.com###timelineSignUpDialog
facebook.com##._3ixn
facebook.com##DIV[id^="pagelet_growth_expanding_cta"]
facebook.com###u_0_6
facebook.com##._3qw._4-hy
facebook.com##div > div[id][class][style*=" background-color: rgb"]

Thanks a million Mapx that did the trick. The second FB page I clicked on showed a - sign up for facebook - half page blocker, but when I went back to that page later the blocker did not appear. I can even watch the videos once again.

I read that in the news here in Canada. I must have hit just the right time to go to Facebook. It has been working on and off for the last couple of days for some in parts of North America.
