Embedded soundclouds won't show on a forum. But they used to unti recently. Why has it stopped working on Firefox?
Hi On a music discussion forum, embedded soundclouds have 'disappeared' in the past week or so. I can still see them if I use IE or Google Chrome but not on Firefox. Where I should be able to see a playable embedded soundcloud there is simply a white rectangle with the soundcloud logo in the middle. No artisit/title, no play button. Nothing but the Soundcloud logo. Help!

I've added an image of the 'empty' soundcloud embed, It is not empty on IE or Chrome.
Firefox 42+ has a Tracking Protection feature that is enabled by default in Private Browsing mode. When you are in private browsing mode then Firefox can show a shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar that some content is affected.
You can disable this feature in "Options/Preferences > Privacy" or via the about:privatebrowsing page that get when you open a New Private Window.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure such extensions do not block content. There is security software that can interfere with loading content, so check that as well.
You can try to temporarily allow all cookies including third-party cookies to see if that has effect.
