If you are using a content blocking extension (like an ad blocker or privacy extension) on Firefox, it may be causing the issue by preventing certain Javascript code to load on websites. You can run Firefox in Safe Mode to see if that's the case, since Safe Mode temporarily disables your extensions.

Other than that, in some cases, Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) may block certain Javascript from loading if your settings are set too strict or the website is using part of the Javascript to track you. You may need to disable ETP on a specific website if you are having issues with it.

Hope this helps.
