It worked for me, and I am guessing it has for most others.
Got a tip for us?

I changed the user agent to Firefox, and it works just fine. Are we talking about MacOS here or iOS? Assuming desktop, try to clear the cache and website data.
As per my first post I ran Onyx which clears all caches. I had switched to Chrome as suggested. Will try Firefox.
I see what happened. Once you change your user agent, make sure you don't load the mobile website and go to the full website. Otherwise, it will appear garbled and blown up.
Got it. I needed to make sure it was choosing main site instead of mobile. Thanks all!
Also note that if you don't want to change your user agent to Firefox or Chrome, you can select "Other" at the very bottom and just remove the offending "(a)" from the actual agent identifier.
are you loading m.facebook or www.facebook when you try these?
Change the URL from m.facebook.com to facebook.com as it reverts to the mobile site.
i wish all their updates were this quick to install, osx and ios take ages to install/update these days, i can install windows on 10 computers by the time they are done.
yeah, look at the code snippet in the article there https://www.techworm.net/2022/08/what-happened-windows-9-skipped.html
I just clicked "Install" and it requested the security update but then my iPad 9th gen turned off and the screen is black. The screen has been black for about 10 minutes now... how long am I supposed to wait?
EDIT:
I'm just worried that if I hit the 'Power' button I'd be disrupting the iPad OS update...
EDIT:
Nevermind. It was done installing the iPad OS update and my iPad 9th gen was merely in "sleep" mode...

This update was rapid fast. I’m still not too sure exactly what happened. 🦯
This sounds, then, like Facebook is paying too much attention to the browser ID string it receives, doing very specific things for various versions, and not having a proper default fallback position.
Any help would be appreciated because I need to use my iPad 9th gen for some work... 😢I just clicked "Install" and it requested the security update but then my iPad 9th gen turned off and the screen is black. The screen has been black for about 10 minutes now... how long am I supposed to wait?

Before the update, I could drag an image file to my photo edit app and it would bring up the app along with the image. This is not no longer possible. Dragging the file to the app icon does nothing now.
Yeah, the key bit there is "during installation". They download a small patch and run the included executable, which in turn makes temporary copies of a bunch of files, making small changes to them, then has to put the modified versions back in place, and it wants to have the entire packages for the original and modified versions around at the same time, to have the minimum chance to break things (you don't want to just modify things in place, run out of space halfway through, and leave the system in an unworkable half-converted state). I'd venture a guess that 4.33 GB number is a worst-case scenario and it doesn't actually take that much, but they're being safe.
134MB on my Intel iMac. About 7 minutes in all, including the restart.
Anyone know if MR has reached out to Apple? At the very least, they should put in a “caution” warning in the main article so others can decide to hold off if they want.
It does work. Just tried it. Type Facebook in the address bar after changing user agent then it works.
But should not have to do this anyway.
Snappier. The word you're looking for is snappier. The phrase the judges are looking for is: "Safari feels snappier now."
What are they teaching kids these days?
is this a phone or computer issue and also has it caused any issue with apps? I haven't noticed any issues thus far
