When looking at a Washington Post article, not the home page, after a few seconds or 20 the screen goes blank. Disabling all ad-blockers/privacy controllers and setting the page as an exception under your Enhanced Tracking Protection does not rectify the situation

Disabling Ghostery, Adblock Plus,Kaspersky Protection,DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials,Privacy Badger as well as pausing Kaspersky A/V, setting Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection to Standard from Strict, and adding the blanking page as an exception do not change the the situation. Page still blanks after a short period of time. Using Windows 11 Pro latest version.

Same thing happens when using Firefox safe mode. Even in safe mode ads are not appearing as well as some inline pictures, see attachment.

If I run firefox in a sandbox, it seems to work correctly, no blanking and ads and pictures appear
