It is always possible that content blocking extensions block essential content and you need to be aware and possibly disable the extension on affected websites.

Extensions usually have a toolbar button that allows to inspect what is blocked and allow to show specific content, so you can look for such a button.

You can possibly contact its developer for support.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content. You can click shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection. You can check the Web Console for messages about blocked content.
