Description

Describe your issue simple as possible. You'll need to describe how to reproduce the issue later.

Description from user:

I use Ghostery on my mac + Firefox. The past few days this extension started blocking the images in Instagram. It might show few, but not all. I thought first it's an issue with the wi-fi, but I experience this also elsewhere where the speed is good. Started looking at my extensions and when I paused Ghostery, images returned. Ended the pause and images disappeared again. So, it's clear it's the extension that causes the issue.
