Sharing button issue
I recently created a new artist website on WIX and added a widget by Elfsight that shows sharing buttons. The widget is installed correctly. The buttons appear when I bring up the site on Microsoft Edge, but not on Firefox. What gives? I tried clearing my cache etc. to no avail. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages.
You can check for issues with Total Cookie Protection.

You can try these steps in case of issues with webpages:
You can reload webpage(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Settings).
"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Data"
"Clear the Cache":
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> [X] Cached Web Content -> Clear

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
I want to highlight something toward the end of cor-el's reply:
Some sharing widgets run scripts hosted on third party servers that may be treated as cross-site trackers. I think AddToAny is in that category.
(1) If you click the "shield" icon at the left end of the address bar, does the drop-down panel mention Firefox blocking any content related to your buttons?
(2) Privacy add-ons also could be the culprit.
Just want to thank you for your kind responses. I haven't yet had the opportunity to check out your solutions, but I really appreciate being given things to look into.
