That is an SVG image and there is probably JavaScript involved.

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.

This sadly does not solve my problem as I have no add-ons or plugins installed on firefox. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Update: I know it's been less than five minutes but I just reloaded the site again and somehow, it worked! Thanks for your time!
