This is a follow-up to this locked-up thread from 2021: https://trisquel.info/es/forum/abrowser-breaking-facebook

Summary of the thread: Do not use Facebook. If you do because of not wanting to miss some information, do it in the most protected way: no app, no login. But then, you will find that sometimes Facebook refuses to show public pages and require login. It looks like a whimsical thing, happening some days only.

It is happening again since yesterday. But not only on Abrowser, or in Trisquel - it is happening on every desktop computer. I am seeing it on Trisquel: on Abrowser, Icecat and GNOME Web browser. I am seeing it on Edge on Windows 10. And I am seeing it too on my Android smartphone when I request a desktop view.

I think kerdadit was right on the original thread, this has nothing to do with my devices - Facebook just serves pages differently.

I followed chaosmonk's advice - to replace the part of the address before ".facebook" with an "m". Pages are still served right for mobile devices, even if they served are a bit differently. Good enough.

Example: Festival Intercéltico do Morrazo

The address you type: https://www.facebook.com/festivalintercelticomorrazo/

The address you got redirected to when this happened in 2021: https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ffestivalintercelticomorrazo%2F

The address you get redirected to when this happens now: https://www.facebook.com/index.php?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fprivacy%2Fconsent%2Fuser_cookie_choice%2F%3Fsource%3Dpft_user_cookie_choice

The address that will let you see the page, even if in mobile format: https://m.facebook.com/festivalintercelticomorrazo/

I think there is a misspelling in the URI of the link you provided.

https://www.facebook.com/festivalintercelticomorrazo/

https://m.facebook.com/FestivalIntercelticodoMorrazo/

It doesn't work without JS. Meh.

The best you can do for FB it's to convince people to join other platforms and block it (and its
subdomains) with a hosts file:

I even tried to enter FB from their Onion URL with Tor-Browser with no JS enabled. It didn't work.

It used to work for me, but now I get an error page. I think they just have something messed up.
