safari won't load facebook

is anyone else having trouble loading Facebook on safari?

Same problem here. Worked fine until an hour ago. Was using messenger and then was unable to access Facebook through safari. Do NOT want to use FB app. Have tried a hard restart twice but to no avail. Apple team, any suggestions??

Weird, I came into work with the same issue this morning!

Thought it might be an issue with Keychain so killed off all facebook related keychains and rebooted but no joy. I'm not using any proxies either. Facebook loads fine in other browsers too so it's not a firewall issue either.

Oddly... If I use a new 'private window' I can access facebook fine.

Any help appreciated!

I have this same problem, but the proxy solution did not correct the issue for me.

Only Facebook? Not any other site?

Select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network. If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test.

Hello,

I had a similar problem with my Mac. For me, my computer was saying that there was a certification problem. Even when I would allow a certification exception it would still open facebook in HTML. Here is what happened: Somehow, my date and time were wrong on my computer. So, when I tried to access facebook it interracted with my computer and since facebook's certificate was for Dec. 27, 2012, my computer would not sync because it was set for 2011.

So, I changed my date and time on my computer and facebook began working again.

Hopefully this can help...

None of the above works, FB is only page that wont load in Safari, from one minute to another.

Cleared history and cache.

Works on every other browser, but im not going to use other browsers just for FB.

Other smart ideas?

Hi!

I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8. That is as far as I can go on my 2006 MbPro.

This is happening to me now also. Firefox works fine. Every webpage in Safari loads - but not Facebook.

When I click on the bookmark, or type in the URL, FB will not load. The URL is in the bar but the page is blank.

The FB URL starts with 'https" - if that matters.

It has been working fine for years. Yesterday it did it.

I always hit 'reset safari' when I quit it. I have also cleared the cache from the drop down menu.

I went to System Preferences < Network < Advanced < Proxies. Nothing is checked. BUT this was in Bypass:

*.local, 169.254/16

I wrote it down, deleted it, hit Ok < Apply.

I also went to Keychain and deleted anything with Facebook - including certificates. And that was probably a dumb move.

I have been using Social Fixer in both Safari and Firefox. I deleted all Social Fixer stuff in Safari.

So I am stumped.

PS What if I downloaded and Reinstalled Safari? Would that do anything? What would happen to my bookmarks?

Hi,

I have had the same problem. I would be able to enter Facebook's login page, but I could not go further past that point.

I had to set :

Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Confidentiality

"Block cookies and other data from websites" to

"Never".

Then, everything went back to normal.

I did the change to "never.

I also uninstalled "ad blocker"

And now it works fine.

Thanks

I have this same problem and your suggestion did not resolve the issue.
