Some text is blocked out on a website. Only text displaying live data. How to fix?

On a website I have used for years, the images and text are OK, but the text that displays live data has a big white square blocking it out. This is after I log in to the site. This just started after switching to a new computer. This does not happen on Google Chrome. The blocked text shows inventory.

I have no idea how to fix. I tried resetting Mozilla, enabling the extension, clearing the cookies and cache. Nothing works.

Do you only have a problem with that one website?

Can you attach a screenshot and possibly post a link?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.


Note that you can get a possibly colored Lego block icon on the left end of the location bar that indicates that Firefox is blocking a plugin.

Your system details list doesn't show that the Shockwave Flash plugin is installed and enabled.

Latest Flash player versions here:

You can verify on the Adobe Flash Players Test Page that the Flash plugin is working and which version you have.
