My website share buttons are not showing up on my laptop on Firefox only yet they show up on my IMac in Firefox?
On both my Wordpress websites we switched my share buttons from Monarch to Add This. On my Mac Book Pro laptop, the share buttons are not showing up in Firefox. They show up in Chrome and Safari. If I go to my IMac the share button show up on Firefox. Obviously, there is something wrong because they are showing up in Firefox on one machine and not the other. Both are running the same version of Firefox.

FredMcD saidMake sure you are not blocking content. Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?When I do this the share button shows up and also so do the ad from add block so how do I resolve the problem and still use add block. You cannot always start in safe mode.
Actually, by seeing the adds, I was able to solve the problem and get it working. It was a matter of adblock set differently on one machine versus the other. Thanks for your assistance.

Make sure you are not blocking content.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

Firefox 42+ has a Tracking Protection feature that is enabled by default in Private Browsing mode. Firefox shows a shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar in case content is blocked by Tracking Protection, click the shield icon for more information.
You can disable this feature in "Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security" or via the about:privatebrowsing page that get when you open a New Private Window.
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security: "Use Tracking Protection in Private Windows"

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.

When I do this the share button shows up and also so do the ad from add block so how do I resolve the problem and still use add block. You cannot always start in safe mode.
