Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com

There were no "issues"; everything was working completely fine. This is a deliberate decision to force people to turn off tracking protection.

I saw a recommendation to use Firefox's container extension https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers, but it's disabled in private browsing windows, and I always use private browsing windows.

My initial reaction to your comment is amusement and agreement, but after taking a bit to think about it, I don't think it's the correct approach. Indeed there are many people with objectionable opinions who have Twitter as their primary medium, but there are also many people who just don't know better; those who don't know better will never learn better if not exposed to other media. Removing them from their echo chamber might not be the best for you personally, but it's probably the best way to help them and, by extension, hopefully have a wider positive impact.

Apologies if this seemed preachy, that was not my intent.

Have I told you about our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ?
