Some webpages are not loading completely using Firefox, but loading just fine with Safari. Help, please?!
Certain websites will load partially in Firefox but some pieces will be missing (e.g. I click "sign in" on a website, and I get a mostly blank screen). It looks like the wepage is trying to load, at least in some instances (e.g. I'll see a header at the top of the page, but then it goes away after a second). Most vexing at the moment, part of the website I use to order items at work is not loading correctly. None of these issues exist while using Safari. I've tried: clearing history, mucking with the DNS settings, adjusting the proxy settings, re-installing Firefox. None of these seem to be fixing the problem, although reinstalling Firefox means that now one or two webpages now work correctly that didn't work previously (I think?). I would say that this started to happen after I updated to the latest version of Firefox, but can't be 100% sure of that. I'd really appreciate advice on how to get Firefox working again, since it is my preferred browser!

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block (wanted) content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox shows the shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar in case Content Blocking is blocking content.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
You can check the Web Console about what content is blocked
- "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).
"Remove the Cookies" from websites that cause problems:
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data -> Manage Data
"Clear the Cache":
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> Cached Web Content: Clear
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
Re-starting Firefox in Safe mode fixed the problem. Thanks! A bit more mucking around suggests that it seems to be the Mind the Time add-on that is causing the problem. I guess I will have to look for another add-on that tracks how much time I spend on particular websites
