Dates Missing.jpg
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/113.0
Steps to reproduce:
Go to https://www.facebook.com and login to your account (must login to replicate the bug). Dates and Times are missing from comments and posts.
Actual results:
Dates and Times are missing from Facebook comments and posts and two dots appear instead.
Expected results:
Facebook comments and posts should display dates and times.
This happens with a new Firefox profile and on another computer at another location. Works fine with Chrome and Edge.

This is popping up on SUMO as well, for example, https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1413716
There is a notable difference between users experiencing this problem and users not experiencing this problem: those without the problem have a simple span (containing the date text) within the link. They do not have the very oddly named custom tags or an SVG element within the link.
I am not aware of any reason that FB would be building the link content so differently between different users. It's not obvious why they would use so many tags for a short string of text...

I noticed this and first tried disabling extensions I use such as FB Purity and Social Fixer. I also logged into Faecbook on brand new Firefox profiles and still have the same result. This doesn't happen on Chromium based browsers (Chrome 113 and Opera 98).

I installed FF ESR 102.11 and it still has the problem with blank dates. So it's not due to a sudden change in a new version of FF (I thought it started after FF 113 was released). But I don't know what Facebook coding would/could have done that would have caused this problem to happen, only in FF.

Marking this as resolved as it appears Facebook fixed the issue with Firefox.
