I log in to Pinterest and click on the picture I like. The picture opens in a new tab normally, but when I click on the "Read it" or "Visit" button under it to go to the originating site, Firefox loads an empty tab (I tried to upload a picture but it just kept loading forever - but you know what an empty tab looks like). It happens with absolutely every picture. I had an AdBlocker, but uninstalled it and the problem still persist. Please help.

hi, thanks for reporting this. we are looking into the matter together with pinterest. in the meantime those sites should show up when you click the reload button once.

Hi,

I'd very much like to try this solution, but I just noticed that I have a new, bigger problem - I can't do ANYTHING anymore on Pinterest, except look at pictures they put on. In other words, I can't assign a search because the click in the search field does nothing (no cursor to enter the word), and I can't click on any picture (I mean I can, but that also does nothing). So it's like a fixed gallery of pictures I didn't choose (and I'm logged in). I've looked at permissions and everything is allowed. Now I'm really baffled ...

Update: I just went to Pinterest again, and still couldn't do anything with pictures, not even open them. So I installed Firefox Extended Support Release, and immediately afterwards everything works perfectly again.
