I just click on the link and go to the source IF I really want to see the video. A bit of a pain, but....

(28,261 posts)No Script update might be restricting twitter and will need to be added to the website's Trusted list.
The ABP update is messing up a lot of videos on sites I visit or confuse ads with valid site scripts.

(1,009 posts)Embedded tweets either on FF for my tablet. But can on my desktop FF.
Its possible FF doesnt use java, because Ive turned off java in safari and you can no longer see tweets when its turned off.

(36,920 posts)Hmmm?
P.S. NoScript is awesome (I disabled after the upgrade because I couldn't figure it out, but their tinkering with the interface brought me back).

(4,648 posts)love no script , but I did the same thing you did after the upgrade.

(1,009 posts)If you are private browsing with firefox, you cant see embedded tweets. Without private browsing you can. This is tablet/mobile though.

(36,920 posts)I don't use private browsing, though (nor would I be able to post this if I did... lol!)

(1,009 posts)is this a desktop? Maybe an ad blocker? For instance my ad blocker will unintentionally block certain things like comments section from facebook accounts under an article.

(36,920 posts)I enabled it (and Adblock plus) when I disabled NoScript due to their perplexing upgrade/userface (now resolved).
Anywho, thank you!

Here's what I wrote when EarlG first announced we could now embed tweets:
You'll need to either whitelist ("Trust Site" ) DU or allow the Twitter Button Social Media Tracker in order for this to work.

IOW, you don't need to disable Ghostery altogether (I'd find it hard to live without it), just either whitelist DU or enable the Twitter Button Social Media Tracker (if it's blocked).

(130,069 posts)and it was related to the setting in "Privacy and Security" for "Tracking Protection", where it needs to be set to "Only in private windows" or "Never" (I think by default it is "Always" ).
ETA this is for v57.x
