I have a business FB account which I can no longer access on a desktop - Win7 / 10 / MacOS. I can access via my iPhone.

 

Using the desktop on Safari I just get the url address bar going nuts trying to redirect.

 

Using Windows I get a 'The page isn't redirecting [or working] properly' message.

 

Everyone who has admin access get the same desktop thing; so different locations / hardware and probably software.

 

The symptoms began a few months ago when their interface changed. At that time we had the option to keep the old style, and all was good. Once that roll-out period ceased, I've had this issue.

 

I've read and tried every blimmin thing I can find - nothing has worked.

 

What I have found is that many, many other FB users arounf the globe have the same issue. But, as this has been going on for months I can't believe there hasn't been a resolve yet.

 

Am I wrong? Can anyone offer 'the fix' please?

 

Thank you

Anyway for you to switch back to the old experience just to access the page?

First, you're saying this like not being able to access Facebook is a bad thing? ;-)

 

Second, I've seen a similar problem - not with FB because I don't go there - with a couple of sites that just stopped working with Firefox, but did stay working with (new version) Edge. I think it was something to do with slightly paranoid settings in Firefox.

 

Have you tried different browsers?

Different people, different browsers, different computers according to the OP.

I have had this since I have a seperate facebook account to manage works page, and I have had to delete a hell of a lot of cookies to get it logging in again, seems that logging out doesnt totally clear out enough for a new login to work sometimes.

 

 

 

Basically in chrome I searched the cookie list for facebook and fb and deleted them all and it seemed to cure it.

 

Reason for a seperate account is that facebook dont seem to understand the concept of "working hours" and I would have customer queries popping up on my phone all the time when I was not at work.

I just did a 'deep clean' on the Windows PC and the Mac.

 

All cookies / cache / history  - gone!

 

Windows - loged in and FB is working. This time!

 

Mac - same error, so no change.
