I have a bookmarked page I have used for years that involves an ePaper. Last weekend FF opened the cover page and stopped. I dumped the book mark, searched for the site and it opened with full functionality except the ePaper. It still only opened on the cover page but It would not open the paper itself. That is the same situation today. However, this page and ePaper function absolutely normally on Safari so FF - not unusal for this to happen - did an update and screwed me up. Any ideas?

Hi, please see if this is the issue : SHIELD ICON Tracking Protection

One issue that seems more common lately is Firefox's Tracking Protection feature. When it is blocking content in a page, a shield icon will appear at the left end of the address bar next to the padlock icon. This article has more info on managing this feature: Tracking Protection https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tracking-protection

The website in question also has another way to access the ePaper rather than through a bookmark that also works in Safari as it does using the bookmark in Safari. There is no sign of blocking and in fact I have settings set to avoid this.

What is the ePaper Extension, that maybe the issue, or not.

This is the website address for Barbados Today.

https://barbadostoday.bb/

If you click on ePaper this is what you get:

http://epaper.barbadostoday.bb/html5/reader/production/default.aspx?pubname=&pubid=87ad6005-1972-4d63-92b0-8927eda53c7a

but it stops there when it usually goes to the front page of the paper.

Google the above website in Safari and click on the ePaper and it works fine.

Firefox has been my choice web browser for years and I read this paper every day it is published from Canada. It was fine until last weekend when FF did an update. I probably will change web browsers if this cannot be resolved.]
