Sometime ago, I posted to https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#nightly:mozilla.org about the Nightly & FB issues and the fact that FB states feed is up-to-date.

The problem continues to exit and that makes using FB impractical.

The work around is to delete FB data and login again OR using each container once, before having no option but to delete FB data again.

I am guessing that there is a timestamp issue with the cookies or saved data which makes FB think user has already seen all the latest feed on the homepage and then FB shows few weeks old feeds.

erosman, can you provide a bit more context to this issue you are encountering? Where do you need to go to get that feed up-to-date message? And also, are you using facebook container, cookie manager or anything similar?

Where do you need to go to get that feed up-to-date message?

User's FB home page

are you using facebook container, cookie manager or anything similar?

No.
Currently, to bypass the issue, I use the Private Window to log-in so that I wont have to delete FB data every time. However, using FB normally, i.e. keep logged in and open in normal tab, is causing the issues outlined.
