WhatsApp Web does not work with Firefox 47.0.1 on Windows 7 64-bit OS. I have tried making it work after disabling the add-ons and restarting Firefox in safe mode, yet this did not resolve the issue either. I am not even presented the QR code as you can see in the following screenshot this is what I get when I go to WhatsApp Web. However, on my office desktop PC which also runs the same Windows OS and the same Firefox version, this page loads correctly. What might be the problem?
Okay I got the problem resolved without messing with add-ons, plug-ins, history, bookmarks and sync features by just displaying Troubleshooting Information from the menu to the right of the Firefox. Then I opened the profile folder from there and deleted the prefs.js file to have it refreshed. When I launched the browser again all my settings were gone, but I was able to log into WhatsApp Web.
Try go Help>Troubleshooting information and click on the safe mode restart firefox without add-on. After login whatsapp on safe mode just restart your firefox back with add-on and it should be logged in.
If Waterfox simply goes to WhatsApp Web or a "normal" reload command is issued, Whatsapp works with Mozilla FIrefix 30+ page pops back up. It also obviously happpens when Waterfox just launches and loads WhatsApp Web. In general, browsers load/reload pages from cache, so forcing a network reload with CTRL + F5 seems to reliably bypasse cache, therefore, bypassing the issue.

While clicking the Disappearing messages arrow, the below screenshots will appear and show that you get started with the disappearing messages option and the duration of the disappearing messages. It would help if you turned on the Disappearing feature for more privacy and storage.
WhatsApp (officially WhatsApp Messenger) is an instant messaging (IM) and voice-over-IP (VoIP) service owned by technology conglomerate Meta.[14] It allows users to send text, voice messages and video messages,[15] make voice and video calls, and share images, documents, user locations, and other content.[16][17] WhatsApp's client application runs on mobile devices, and can be accessed from computers.[18] The service requires a cellular mobile telephone number to sign up.[19] In January 2018, WhatsApp released a standalone business app called WhatsApp Business which can communicate with the standard WhatsApp client.[20][21]
The service was created by WhatsApp Inc. of Mountain View, California, which was acquired by Facebook in February 2014 for approximately US$19.3 billion.[22][23] It became the world's most popular messaging application by 2015,[24][25] and had more than 2 billion users worldwide by February 2020,[26] confirmed four years later by new 200M registrations per month.[27] By 2016, it had become the primary means of Internet communication in regions including Latin America, the Indian subcontinent, and large parts of Europe and Africa.[24]
WhatsApp was founded in February 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum, former employees of Yahoo! A month earlier, after Koum purchased an iPhone, he and Acton decided to create an app for the App Store. The idea started off as an app that would display statuses in a phone's Contacts menu, showing if a person was at work or on a call.[63]
Their discussions often took place at the home of Koum's Russian friend Alex Fishman in West San Jose. They realized that to take the idea further, they would need an iPhone developer. Fishman visited RentACoder.com, found Russian developer Igor Solomennikov, and introduced him to Koum.[63]
Koum named the app WhatsApp to sound like "what's up". On February 24, 2009, he incorporated[64] WhatsApp Inc. in California. However, when early versions of WhatsApp kept crashing, Koum considered giving up and looking for a new job. Acton encouraged him to wait for a "few more months".[63]
Koum updated WhatsApp so that everyone in the user's network would be notified when a user's status changed. This new facility, to Koum's surprise, was used by users to ping "each other with jokey custom statuses like, 'I woke up late' or 'I'm on my way.'"[63]
Although Acton was working on another startup idea, he decided to join the company.[28] In October 2009, Acton persuaded five former friends at Yahoo! to invest $250,000 in seed funding, and Acton became a co-founder and was given a stake. He officially joined WhatsApp on November 1.[28] Koum then hired a friend in Los Angeles, Chris Peiffer, to develop a BlackBerry version, which arrived two months later.[28] Subsequently, WhatsApp for Symbian OS was added in May 2010, and for Android OS in August 2010.[65] In 2010 Google made multiple acquisition offers for WhatsApp, which were all declined.[66]
To cover the cost of sending verification texts to users, WhatsApp was changed from a free service to a paid one. In December 2009, the ability to send photos was added to the iOS version. By early 2011, WhatsApp was one of the top 20 apps in the U.S. Apple App Store.[28]
By February 2013, WhatsApp had about 200 million active users and 50 staff members. Sequoia invested another $50 million, and WhatsApp was valued at $1.5 billion.[28] Some time in 2013[70] WhatsApp acquired Santa Clara-based startup SkyMobius, the developers of Vtok,[71] a video and voice calling app.[72]
On February 19, 2014, one year after a venture capital financing round at a $1.5 billion valuation,[75] Facebook, Inc. (now Meta Platforms) announced it was acquiring WhatsApp for US$19 billion, its largest acquisition to date.[23] At the time, it was the largest acquisition of a venture-capital-backed company in history.[22] Sequoia Capital received an approximate 5,000% return on its initial investment.[76] Facebook, which was advised by Allen & Co, paid $4 billion in cash, $12 billion in Facebook shares, and, advised by Morgan Stanley, an additional $3 billion in restricted stock units granted to WhatsApp's founders Koum and Acton.[77] Employee stock was scheduled to vest over four years subsequent to closing.[23] Days after the announcement, WhatsApp users experienced a loss of service, leading to anger across social media.[78]
The acquisition was influenced by the data provided by Onavo, Facebook's research app for monitoring competitors and trending usage of social activities on mobile phones, as well as startups that were performing "unusually well".[79][80][81]
At a keynote presentation at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February 2014, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that Facebook's acquisition of WhatsApp was closely related to the Internet.org vision.[84][85] A TechCrunch article said about Zuckerberg's vision:
Three days after announcing the Facebook purchase, Koum said they were working to introduce voice calls. He also said that new mobile phones would be sold in Germany with the WhatsApp brand, and that their ultimate goal was to be on all smartphones.[86]
In August 2014, WhatsApp was the most popular messaging app in the world, with more than 600 million users.[87] By early January 2015, WhatsApp had 700 million monthly users and over 30 billion messages every day.[88] In April 2015, Forbes predicted that between 2012 and 2018, the telecommunications industry would lose $386 billion because of "over-the-top" services like WhatsApp and Skype.[89] That month, WhatsApp had over 800 million users.[90][91] By September 2015, it had grown to 900 million;[92] and by February 2016, one billion.[93]
On November 30, 2015, the Android WhatsApp client made links to messaging service Telegram unclickable and uncopyable.[94][95][96] Multiple sources confirmed that it was intentional, not a bug,[96] and that it had been implemented when the Android source code that recognized Telegram URLs had been identified.[96] (The word "telegram" appeared in WhatsApp's code.[96]) Some considered it an anti-competitive measure;[94][95][96] WhatsApp offered no explanation.
