I am simplifying in saying that they outright block FF, but the site is broken with Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled [0], and has been for a while. They even mention FF in a dedicated error message, which I have to admit just grinds my gears :)

That's odd. I use X on FF with not only Enhanced Tracking Protection, but also a whole bunch of other privacy extensions (uBlock Origin, Ghosterly, Disconnect.me, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, EFF Privacy Badger) without adding any exception for x.com, and it still works for me.

Are you logged in to your account? Since I suspect that's why.

I am; but for what it's worth, if I open a new private window, I can still browse any public profile on X without logging in, and with Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled.

Try doing it with removing your cookies or in a vm since it could be that Twitter uses super cookie to track you.

I just tried to enable ETP (had it disabled previously) on x.com and it works, so they must have fixed it.
