All of a sudden Safari will not connect to Facebook. But Firefox will. Error message keeps saying that Facebook drops the connection. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

If you are having with Facebook website, or with the Facebook app, or with accessing Facebook through Safari or whatever other means, or with your Facebook password, check first for app updates and for macOS updates, then remove any add-on VPN client apps or add-on”security” apps and any Safari extensions loaded and try again, and then contact Facebook Support.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back. I am speaking of using Safari to connect to the Facebook website. I regularly update MacOS. I also recently transitioned to a Mac Studio. Now I regularly use the Facebook app on my iPad. So I have no idea where the problem on my desktop started.

You are having trouble with a website and tracking software designed and written by Facebook and intended to allow Facebook to extract revenue from your attention.

If your efforts to provide those additional revenues to Facebook are unsuccessful, best contact Facebook Support.

Even if there is a bug in Safari, Facebook is in a position to either work around that or to discuss that with Apple, as Facebook is quite motivated to continue to extract revenues from your attention and that of other users of that service.

In short, contact Facebook Support.
