1964956 - Blockquote content should be displayed when platform.twitter.com/widgets.js is blocked

If Firefox blocks content tracking by Twitter/X widget.js, a box is drawn in the content area.
If the web author follows the official embedding method which is provided at https://publish.twitter.com/, the content surrounded by the blockquote tag exists above it.

Firefox should display the blockquote content if Twitter/X widget.js is blocked.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "a box is drawn in the content area."?

Could you perhaps upload a screenshot? Do you mean the placeholders we show when the embedded content gets blocked, see screenshot here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/smartblock-enhanced-tracking-protection#w_enabling-embedded-content

We face two problems:

• The statement in the box is not clear if I will be tracked by X when I click the button.
• The blockquote section is not displayed, even though we can display it without tracking.

The blockquote section appears on Edge.

Thanks! That seems like a worthwhile improvement.
