Widgets on sites using Elementor are blank on Firefox
Facebook embeds and other layout widgets on sites designed with Elementor. Even the Elementor company page will not fully render: https://elementor.com/blog/introducing-facebook-widgets/. This began with new installation of Firefox this week. I had been using Firefox just fine, but then it mysteriously disappeared, requiring new installation. All of the pages with issues load fine in Chrome. Please help.

It's about the Tracking Protection. Facebook Trackers are being removed by default in new Firefox. Click the Shield icon in the URL bar, there you can disable protection for certain sites and enable those widgets.
See also Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop and Trackers and scripts Firefox blocks in Enhanced Tracking Protection.
I deleted current version and installed 70.0.1 and all is well. My concern is that my own site uses Elementor and it was not rendering properly in the version I had downloaded. That means other users may be missing out on content I have published. Is Tracking Protection on by default? If so, should users be notified they are missing out on content? Thanks
You can check in the Web Console what content is blocked.
- "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer
