Firefox 57.0.4 on Windows 7. Just finished refreshing Firefox per Mozilla suggestions and now cannot get the moving or progressive radar on National Weather Service site, worked correctly previously. I think this uses Adobe Flash, which I reloaded, no joy. No answers in the 3-bar menus on upper left of screen. Anyone have any wisdom on this for a non-tech user?
