Amazon Affiliate Links are not showing up on my site in Firefox
I add Amazon Affiliate links to my website and they are not showing up in Firefox. They show up fine in Chrome, Edge and Safari.
Here is an example for one of my pages - http://campcampsite.com/camp-cookbook/
All I see are blank squares..
Help!

If the shield is gray then this means that Firefox doesn't see the trackers that would be blocked normally and it is likely that you have content blocking extensions or possibly security software that blocks this content.
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.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

It could be Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection feature. Glance toward the left end of the address bar. If the shield icon is a bit purplish, something in the page is being blocked. You can click the shield to open a panel to see what is being blocked, or to make an exception.
The Web Console shows that 23 items are blocked by Enhanced Tracking Protection including ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com
- "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer

I found the shield by searching for a solution the other day and I turned off enhanced protection for that site, but the ads still didn't show up. The shield was gray as well, not purple.
This just started happening within the last month, so maybe Firefox had an update that caused this?
I'm not sure what else to do if I turn it off and they still don't show up?
Thanks for the info, but It's still not working. I also cleared the cache.
Thanks, Karen

Thank you for all of the help. SOLVED it! I recently made DuckDuckGo my default search engine and that was blocking the Amazon Affiliate ads.
Thank you all for the info and help. I really appreciate it.

Aren't you confusing the DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials extension with the builtin DDG search engine as the former can block content similar to the Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection feature ?
I'm not confusing anything. Perhaps I didn't state it perfectly.
The DuckDuckGo Extension for Privacy blocked the Amazon Ads.
