Until 2 weeks ago, all tweets showed in my DU windows

then I began to only get the link to the tweets, now the link shows up for ONE second, then completely disappears. My account settings are correct.

You might try to disable either to see if the tweets start showing?

I have always had one, but they may have updated it. I will try that.

Tweets still show up as before on my phone, but my computer did the same as yours. First it was just a link to tweet, then yesterday the vanishing link.

I'm not sure what updated, but two days ago, Outlook did the same thing to my email. I could see the email someone was trying to send appear and it would vanish before I could open it.

I'm so tired of Windows updating things, which then screws something up, and those of us who are not computer experts have no idea what to look for.

So it has to be popup blocker updated in Firefox and is blocking them.

Thanks for the help.

I have a MacBook Air and use the Firefox browser.

I do not have pop-up blocker checked.

and also do NOT have pop-up blocker checked. I'd hate to use Edge or Chrome but can ... and at the same time I am glad it's not just me.

EDIT TO ADD: I just opened this in Edge and Tweets are showing up. Hmm …
