    Hey there — a client brought to my attention that the Facebook and Linkedin share buttons do not appear in Firefox (latest version). I am observe the same — and not just on my sites but others using the plugin as well, including StudioPress, Copyblogger etc. It is just Facebook and Linkedin buttons that are absent, in FF only. Any thoughts on a fix? Thanks!

    Hi, noahck.

    Is this when using a private browser window? You’ll normally see a shield icon in the address bar, together with warnings in the console in this case: https://d.pr/i/177OK

    Firefox now blocks third-party scripts with a tracking feature by default with private browsing windows (including Facebook and LinkedIn scripts), which affects the display of the share buttons. You can disable script blocking for private browser windows if you wish, though: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tracking-protection-pbm

    I hope that helps to explain the behaviour you’re seeing, but please feel free to follow up if you need further help.
