Some features missing on a webpage
Today suddenly some features vanished from the website "Aftonbladet.se" which I frequently visited daily. Perhaps 25-50 times a day. Why? I think it have something with Flash player... I don't know. How to get back to the way it was before?
Thanks

You will need to restart Firefox for this to take effect so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.,) and then perform these steps:

Firefox 42+ has a Tracking Protection feature that is enabled by default in Private Browsing mode. When you are in private browsing mode then Firefox can show a shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar that some content is blocked.
You can disable this feature in "Options/Preferences -> Privacy" or via the about:privatebrowsing page that get when you open a New Private Window.

You can set this pref to true on the about:config page to see more Tracking Protection choices in "Options/Preferences -> Privacy".
