Blocking Tweets in other web pages

[calvert]

I'm using Avast Online Security in Firefox (122.0.1) on Windows 11.
As of the most recent version (22.11.180), installed on 2/16/2024, embedded tweets are no longer displayed. I determined through troubleshooting in the browser that it was Avast causing the problem. I looked at the management options for the add-on and there was nothing referencing Twitter (or X). Is there anything I can change that will allow embedded tweets to display? If not, is there any way I can revert to the previous version of the add-on?

What is the name of the add-on?

[calvert]

Avast Online Security & Privacy

[mchain]

What browser?  Do you use an add-on for embedded tweets?  X?

[calvert]

Firefox 122.0.1. I do not have an add-on for embedded tweets. I'm just reading pages (sports sites and news sites in particular) where the writers sometimes include embedded tweets. Once I disabled Avast Online Security & Privacy, the embedded tweets were displayed, as they always had been prior to the add-on being updated to v 22.11.180 on 2/16.

I don't do tweets and don't know what the links look like.

Could you  snip an example of a tweet and attach below?

I don't know whether you meant what it looks like when the add-on is enabled and the actual tweet is blocked, or what the tweet actually looks like when the add-on is disabled. I tried to include both, but I can't seem to get the tweet itself to display here. Here's what I get when the add-on is enabled:

When it's disabled, I get just a typical tweet display. If you want to actually see one for yourself, try going to this page:

and scroll down until you see a paragraph heading "Tweet of the Day." The tweet follows immediately after. It might take 5 or 10 seconds for the tweet to load.

Hope that helps.

I too wouldn't have a clue what would appear after "Tweet of the Day." The tweet follows immediately after. It might take 5 or 10 seconds for the tweet to load.

There is lots of stuff after that but I haven't a clue if it relates to the "Tweet of the Day." to me it doesn't really look related.  That could be because I don't have a twitter account.
