Hi, firefox browser (using it on a macbook, the version is up to date) will no longer load the css/js on a site that i use frequently. It's not a problem on the side of the site, as it works fine on chrome and safari (and even on my mobile ios firefox browser). After troubleshooting a bit (deleting and redownloading the browser/removing all addons/ensuring that the page style isn't set to 'no style'/deleting the cache/adding it as an exception to enhanced tracking protection/enabling 'security.enterprise_roots.enabled to true in advanced configuration), and exploring help articles of a similar nature, I've determined that it most likely won't load the stylesheet because the site has an unsecured connection. This is a site that I use frequently and I trust enough to continue using with an unsecure connection, but I've been unable to get Firefox to recognize it as an exception in a way that will allow me to use the site in its full capacity.

What site is this about ?

Did you check for issues with Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox ?

Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content. You can click shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection. You can check the Web Console for messages about blocked content.

You can check the Web Console (Tools -> Web Developer) for messages about blocked content and about the presence of mixed or unsafe content.

You can check the Network Monitor to see if content is blocked or otherwise fails to load.

If necessary use "Ctrl+F5" or "Ctrl+Shift+R" (Mac: Command+Shift+R) to reload the page and bypass the cache to generate a fresh log.
