By the way, Firefox should seriously consider allowing people to report issues without signing up or signing in. Where is your 'Contact Us' link??? I'm happy to report issues, but taking the time to sign up, making up a password and giving personal information is asking a little too much when you've already inconvenienced me with your software issue. I like your browser, but I hated giving you this feedback. Another point, do you really want negative comments like this to show up on your website?

I've never seen or noticed the shield icon before. I turned off the enhanced tracking protection for the site, and now it works. Thanks!

Hi ti89todd, please ignore the spam message with a phone number -- that's not official and we don't know what they will do to your system if you engage.
If you want to report a non-working site without opening a support thread for personal assistance, there actually is a different option for that over here: https://webcompat.com/
Meanwhile, do you want to go into more detail on what's broken with the site? For example:
- error message (please copy/paste it into a reply)
- just get a blank page
- get a partial load (for example, layout is wrecked, regions are missing)
- can't submit forms, buttons and/or menus not working
- etc.
If the problem is only visible after logging in to the ExakTime site, it will be difficult for others to investigate, so I suggest sending a message to the vendor in case they are not aware or have a quick fix.
If a site is generally known to work in Firefox, these are standard suggestions to try when it stops working normally:
Double-check content blockers: Firefox's Content Blocking/Tracking Protection feature, and extensions that counter ads and tracking, may break websites that embed third party content (meaning, from a secondary server).
(A) Do you see a shield icon toward the left end of the address bar, near the lock icon? More info on managing the Tracking Protection feature in this article: Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop (before Firefox 70: Content Blocking).
(B) Extensions such as Adblock Plus, Blur, Disconnect, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Ghostery, NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin or uMatrix should provide toolbar buttons to manage blocked content in a page. There may or may not be a number on the icon indicating the number of blocked items; you may need to click the button to see what's going on and test whether you need to make an exception for this site.
Cache and Cookies: When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Clear Firefox's Cache
See: How to clear the Firefox cache
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, click the lock icon at the left end of the address bar. After a moment, a "Clear Cookies and Site Data" button should appear at the bottom. Go ahead and click that.
In the dialog that opens, you will see one or more matches to the current address so you can remove the site's cookies individually without affecting other sites.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
Testing in Firefox's Safe Mode: In its Safe Mode, Firefox temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem.
If Firefox is not running: Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. (On Mac, hold down the option/alt key instead of the Shift key.)
If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
- (menu bar) Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).
Any improvement?

I would have marked your response as the solution, but it was too long and included too many paths.

No worries, good choice.
