Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?
This can also happen if you have disabled some basic features that the websites rely on.
You can check the Web Console (Tools -> Web Developer) for messages about blocked content.
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.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

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 check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages about blocked content.
Thanks to all for your input.
