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.

The real question is why people are still using that dumpster fire of a website.

To answer your question, it's inertia. People need to be forced of Twitter if before they join Mastodon/Bluesky/Threads

Nobody sane wants to "use" it, but sometimes someone will inconsiderately link something on there.

I use it to scream into the void and be completely uncivil because I'm civil and soft-spoken in the rest of life. In other words, I go to the dumpster when I feel like treating Trump supporters like trash :)
