Hi

I think that this may have something to do with an Add-on that you have installed.

  1. In the address bar, type about:addons.
  2. On the left hand side, click on the "Extensions" option

I do not know what you have listed there, but chances are there is something like "Adblock Plus" there that is preventing the web page from loading. This article will walk you through how you can turn off or uninstall add-ons on your computer.

I hope this helps, but if not please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.
