Twitter/x.com is now forcing you to disable Firefox's Enhance Tracking Protection.
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.

How might we help and encourage people to leave Twitter?
Highkey though I kind of don't want to help people leave Twitter to go to Lemmy. While the increase in posts would be great, the kind of toxicity and general culture that follows can most definitely ruin a website.
Tbh I didn't mean to Lemmy, so much as simply off Twitter in general, preferably to a non-corporate social site. It may be naive/idealistic, but I think those most inclined to leave would be the better of the bunch, and those in-between are more apt to go to another corporate site anyway (e.g. Threads).
Twitter is to Mastodon as Reddit is to Lemmy.
I personally locked my account, and only going there to "spy" on some people only being active there, or to interact with some mutual. It's too much of a toxic pit, the porn bots now even post illegal stuff, and the site is buggy. It was quite good for my mental health to delete that app from my phone though. I miss the community I had there, some I'm instead in contact on Discord (I have a Matrix account too, haven't been using it much), some on Mastodon. That community was slowly disappearing since the Musk takeover, not because of my absence from what is now basically just a 4chan that is still somehow attracts corporations. I wonder if I manage to find a new one soon, or maybe even create my own.
Is there a problem other than Nazis and other far right idiots spamming their hot takes? That's certainly a culture problem but hopefully most instances just ban Nazis instead of letting the cancer grow.
Most of the screenshots I see of Twitter posts aren't from right wing extremists, but are still ignorant opinions and put-downs presented in an obnoxiously snarky way. The core of toxicity in Twitter isn't about political affiliation, it's about mean spirited anti-intellectual tribalism and people using ideals as a pretense to verbally abuse others.
Twitter's trying pretty hard on its own.
Even the people sticking around because they have followers keep getting banned. Guys: if you have to start a new account, do it somewhere better.

The only reason I was on Twitter was because I follow some famous people, politicians that I like and some interesting people. I have no following (except for those onlyfans bots) so maybe if the people we follow gets rid of Twitter then we have nothing to go there for.
I left Twitter just after musk bought it.
