Won't display in browser
-
I had been using Windy.com in Firefox on a Windows 10 desktop for a while when for no reason I could discern it quit working in that browser about a year ago. At the same time it would not work in Chrome either, but I was able to get it going in Microsoft Edge. I've just done it that way ever since, literally the only thing I use Edge for. Then all of a sudden this week it stopped working in Edge as well, doing the same thing as in the other browsers. The framework of the page works but no map and no live links, nothing in the page responds to any mouse clicks. An image of what I see is attached, just a gray background with a few icons but none of them do anything. I now cannot get it working on this computer at all.
I don't have similar issues with any other websites. At this point the only way I can use Windy is through the app on my phone but I much prefer desktop for planning purposes.
Any ideas as to what is causing this?
Thanks!

I should add, I don't have a lot of extras installed on my system and minimal plugins or extensions in my browsers. I use System Mechanic but don't generally allow it to run in background so shouldn't be a factor. I have Ad Blocker Plus installed but disabling it doesn't seem to do anything.

@redwoodinfrared Hello, this looks like a mobile interface of Windy. What version of Firefox do you use? And what device are you using?

Thanks for the reply.
It's not the mobile interface, it's just the web page in my desktop browser. I'm running a standard 64-bit Windows 10 installation with the latest Firefox update (v85.0.2). A while back I realized I had 32-bit Firefox installed but when I replaced it with 64-bit Firefox that made no difference. My Chrome and Edge installations were both 64-bit already.

I finally figured it out. During a recent automatic update the System Mechanic suite enabled Privacy Guardian with Digital Fingerprinting Protection. This service was pointed to as a conflict in another thread regarding different browsers I don't use, but once I realized it had recently been enabled for all my browsers I tried turning it off and that did the trick.
Since it doesn't slow my system down or appear to cause any other conflicts, I re-enabled it for Firefox and Chrome, which I use all the time, but left it disabled for Edge, which I will continue to use only for Windy.com.

Other times, web pages are not displaying correctly because the browser is configured by default to cache (store) web pages from previous times that you've viewed it. ... Navigate to the browser's home page (click the house icon), clear the cache, close and reopen the browser, then open the page again.
