Ag, what Strict Tracking Protection in Firefox v. 103 can do to one's Twitter links. Changed to Custom and the problem went away. I wonder what changed here? :unsure::coffee: The link still takes me there if I click on it though.

Also, I see a few more blocked domains via uBlock Origin than I used to see. Just sayin'

That's just this page.
That's Firefox's built-in "social media trackers" which falls under the "tracking content" module within ETP. In custom, you can turn it off where you can't in Strict. So for that to work, you need to :
  • Disable ETP for MalwareTips, or disable "tracking content" in ETP (pick either one, not both);
  • And make a noop in uBlock Origin for "platform.twitter.com".
It will work with those tweaks, for uBlock Origin this is assuming you run it in Medium Mode. Note that setting privacy.trackingprotection.socialtracking.enabled to false in about:config in itself, will not make it work anymore. Which may have been the thing that changed, I guess?

I generally don't visit twitter, so I don't really care for this, but it may help someone out there.

I am having some problems with the CF firewall I think, not sure. I am connected to Fastetvpn vpn and I get this error and also when I am on the live version of the page it won't let me give likes. Thank you very much in advance for checking this out.

Hey @Emanuel Tomasin
I was doing some maintenance and this might have been the cause. Can you confirm that it works ok now? Thanks
