Facebook works fine in Chrome or Firefox (or any other browser)

Do you have the AdBlock extension installed? Check Safari/Preferences/Extensions and disable it if it is there. Then quit and reopen Safari.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

Safe Mode Startup – El Capitan. also Sierra
If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor.

Eric - THANK YOU! Disabling Adbock, quitting Safari, and re-opening Safari did the trick! If I reenable adblock, will the problem recur?
You are welcome. Until the extension is updated, you might want to go to Safari/Safari Extensions and find a replacement.
Same problem with Facebook since yesterday
1) No extension installed
2) Complete Safari Reset
3) Same problem with another Mac admin account
4) Same problem with my account on another Mac
5) Same problem in private mode
Facebook takes 4GB of memory and all the CPU and no problem with Chrome or Firefox
You are welcome. I have my extensions set for automatic updates in Safari/Preferences. If you do that, you can occasionally go to Safari/Preferences/Extensions and check the version number. I don't know of another way to check.
Thanks again. I had searched through a lot of previous posts with similar issues, and saw that so many things did not work for some people. So lucky that the very first thing you posted worked the first time! I'll go set my extensions to update automatically!
You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
You might check Facebook for account troubleshooting procedures.

Thanks again Eric! How will I know if/when the extension is updated?
You are welcome. Glad to help.
