webpages for obits on newspaper sites not loading
Hello
Since the latest version of Firefox I am unable to view obituaries on newspaper websites such as The Vancouver Sun, and The Regina Leader-Post.
They will work using Edge.
Thank you

Hello again
The problem as described above has been negated. It had nothing to do with extensions etc and everything to do with latest version 103.0.2. , Ui Scaling.

....all web pages are now loading as before on my laptops and Samsung tablet and all is good.
Why this event happened I have no clue, I'm just a retired octogenarian with limited computer skills. My thanks to those who heard my issue and tried to help.

The page begins to load and within a second it reverts to the default page which you see here;
(please also see attatchment).
Something will not allow the page to continue to load, as if it is being blocked.
All my settings (adblockers, etc etc) are unchanged. This issue only happened since the latest version of Firefox was installed(also webpages are larger then wanted now but thats another issue which I have found a fix and will change when I have time).
Thank you
If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, 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

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.
- click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages about blocked content.
