when I open AOL, discription of current event images does not appear

the home page for AOL has an image of a current event or news worthy item, until yesterday there has always been a description or statement explaining the image to the left, that screen is now blank. I had my computer security team check my unit and they say the problem is with Firefox and I should use a different browser.Also under the new email tab there was an old mail tab, that is also gone as of yesterday. Are these problems in fact a Firefox issue?

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock,NoScript,DuckDuckGo PE,Disconnect,Ghostery,uBlock Origin,Malwarebytes), always make sure such extensions do not block content.

You can check for issues with Enhanced Tracking Protection and Total Cookie Protection. 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 like about blocked content.
