I use Google Docs very often, and most of the time I embed images/pictures on it. While editing the document, the pictures will disappear. It is still there when I click on the space where the picture is supposed to be. But it is not visible. I need to refresh the page for the picture to reappear, but it will disappear again when I continue to edit the file. This happens every time I use Firefox. This does not happen when I use Chrome, or Edge. How do I prevent the pictures from disappearing randomly?

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.

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 related messages about blocked content.
