True. Something that FF is doing is provoking Facebook into 
intermittently giving the "Sorry, something went wrong." web page 
instead of the page that I have requested.

Another interesting fact: it seems to affect just one installation of 
FF, on my Win 10 laptop. On my Win 7 PC, with the highest ESR release of 
FF, it doesn't happen. Also it doesn't happen on Linux (eg Mint or MX) 
with the latest version of FF.

That tends to point to something that has changed either in an update 
for the non-ESR version of FF on Windows, or else (probably more likely) 
in my profile.

I'll do what VanguardLH suggested and create a new profile to see if 
that is affected as well.
