ghostery in FF blocks all content except the social buttons at the bottom. Disabling ghostery displays the content. Or clicking reader view displays the content, with ghostery on. Or View/Style/No Style displays the content, with ghostery on. Going up the URL, this also doesn't displahy with ghostery on: https://designschool.canva.com/ but this does display: https://www.canva.com/
