Using FF 57.0.1 on Win 7

On https://news.sky.com/ I get text and placeholders but no graphics or videos.

I see a similar issue was discussed many versions ago but nothing recent.

Can any anyone help please?

I see the same thing; starting in safe mode solves the problem. Must be either an extension or one of the other things suspended in safe-mode.

Found the problem. The site uses trackers. If you go to the URL bar at the extreme left you can disable tracking protection for that site.
