Facebook not responding and I can't logout. It works on my iPhone and all of the other 5 Apple devices in my home.

Hit Command-Tab until the Finder comes to the forefront. Then go to the Apple menu and select Force Quit. Try to Force Quit your browser with Facebook.


[If Force Quit does not work, shut down the Mac by holding the Power button for 10-20 seconds.]


Then reboot into Safe Mode. Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support


Wait in Safe Mode for 15 minutes.


Then reboot normally. Test with Facebook again for normal function.

Facebook Not Responding:

If you are referring to facebook.com, then it is the Web browser giving you the issue —not a Facebook app. Looking in the address bar of the Web browser, do you see a “X”? If so, then it is in a loop, basically meaning there may be a server connection error. So, see if you have any pending downloads. If you have any VPNs on, delete them, or, just turn them off if required for school or work.
