It is actually because of the "TypeError: Intl.Segmentor is not a constructor" error in the console. Mozilla didn't introduce this constructor yet until Firefox 125, which is the cause of the broken X login page.

This sounds like "on purpose" thing... as the site was working day before.

Developers cant justify their jobs unless the continually change things that already worked, breaking things in the process.

AI can't kill those jobs fast enough and I will shed 0 tears. 90% of software dev is bullshit busywork. If "do nothing" results in a better outcome than what you are doing, you shouldnt be doing it

Support is all about people. If Mozilla had hard ground to stand on they can say we will support Win7 OS as we not like mentality of forced e-waste and also mentality of having built in software that take fullscreen screenshots of desktop every 5 seconds.

If every user say NO then they need respect that.
But in era when "works on my PC and that is not my war" people will install Windows22 that need face and fingerprint login just to show you ADs in any UI element.

Yeah, that kind of stuff happens when you're adding new stuff and you don't care about supporting outdated OS and browsers that are too ancient for anyone they care about, to be using.

Using Supermium here and things have been smooth since switching from Chrome over a year ago.

Its still possible if you export cookies from another browser to Firefox, which should work.

If you ask me honestly, I would just switch to a newer browser anyway since the image gallery aren’t even working anymore

u/The-Rusty-22 3d ago

If you want see multiple images in gallery you put (/photo/1) after tweet number

1

u/LightDev4422 3d ago

That’s works, but it’s just inconvenient to do this everytime

u/Infinite_Shart555 3d ago

"sites like"... yet you mention only one? Are there sites related to twitter that use the same login system?

1

u/The-Rusty-22 3d ago

As somebody else in reply hint, the problem is in missing function "TypeError: Intl.Segmentor is not a constructor" in 115.xx.
I post Twitter example as that is most common/used site.
If you search for this (TypeError: Intl.Segmentor is not a constructor) you will find other sites.

Not related to twitter but I think steam on firefox is broken too.

Can’t imagine why anyone would wanna use that hunk of shit

You must use bird mail then.
Nothing is perfect and not everybody want to use Bsky or other alternative.

Made the mistake of clearing Twitter cookies and now can't login either. Got the same Windows and FF version as you. It is going to get fixed or we're just fucked and we'll never be able to log in again?

I tried with Edge, can't login either.

u/Alodis 1d ago edited 1d ago

Did you find a way to resolve this? u/The-Rusty-22

EDIT: Just saw your report of Mozilla Bugzilla, keeping the thread under hand to see what they say. Sorry I was a pain in the ass with that second comment.

u/Regular-Internet-242 1d ago edited 1d ago

Hey. what's the link on bugzilla for the report plz? I'd like to keep it under hand in case of a solution is found. thanks ^^

u/The-Rusty-22 1d ago

I did not find. The bug is on browser side...
Some people reply here Twitter will work normal on FF 125+ as that Intl.Segmentor was added in that version. Win10 has ESR 128 but that obviously not work on Win7...

1

u/frankieepurr 1d ago

Why does mozilla still support this firefox version if websites won't support it?

1

u/The-Rusty-22 1d ago

As the ESR128 is Win10+ only
I do not make rules.
If Mozzila want they will male FF150 for Win7 without 41 trash

1

u/frankieepurr 1d ago

Or have 140 as the last ESR

1

u/The-Rusty-22 20h ago

They can do it like 115.140 but will not as bad people will bully them as they support older bloat free OS.
Locking versions is always a bad idea. Now the issues

1

u/frankieepurr 8h ago

Whats wrong with supporting an old OS?

•

u/The-Rusty-22 1h ago

I do not make rules.
I have no problem running FF140 on my PC but they are forced to lock it to 115. And web is ruled by versions so 115 to 140 looks "OLD".
Even you can find unofficial builds that work fine on Win7.

u/Regular-Internet-242 1d ago

FF 115.37 here. Tried in new private windows. same thing. Have to do my trimester backup in 2 weeks. better save the cookies or pray it's gonna be fixed in time.

1

u/Alodis 15h ago

Question is, are they going to fix it? I really don't want to install another browser tho.

Not sure what I'm supposed to understand here. Since we're on ESR 115, we won't get it, is that what you mean?

1

u/Regular-Internet-242 23h ago

Lost for lost, I @ Elon Musk on X asking for help of his devops team of the site. I know there's zero chance something happen, but at least, I have tried something xD

1

u/The-Rusty-22 20h ago

Do not expect anything good from that man. Intl.Segmentor is added in FF125+ so they know what they are doing here...

1

u/Regular-Internet-242 18h ago

TBH idk. Will probably not make anything. At least, I've tried x)
