ireFox 68.8.0 esr upgraded from a very old version earlier

CtrlShiftk brings up the developers console in Firefox. You may
see errors in the console or if you go to the network tab it will
show the traffic.
Do you have NoScript or other blockers? Many modern pages are built
on the fly with a JavaScript framework. No script, no page.
In both Firefox and Chrome I use the same extension: "JavaScript Toggle
On and Off". It puts a switch on the browser toolbar that allows you to
turn JavaScript on and off.
Since I mostly read the news, turning JavaScript off usually kills all
the movement (and popups) but leaves the print and still pictures.
Sometimes I do get a blank page or picture, but often I can just switch
JS on for a moment, the page loads, then switch it off again and the
page stays, again without the annoying moving stuff.
I looked at the mumbo-jumble in the developer console -
don't understand much of it - but guessing java issues ?
So I upgraded to FF version 84 Final and Imgur worked OK.
Ta-Da ! ... and I didn't lose my bookmarks this time ! :-)
Thanks guys.
