Radiomuseum browser issue - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Is anybody else having problems with the Radiomuseum website using Firefox ?
If I go to a set's page, I can only see the top of the page and there are no scroll bars present, so the scroll wheel on my mouse does nothing !
It does work if I use MS Edge, but I prefer Firefox.
It was working fine a couple of weeks ago so something must have changed.
Also, I don't have these problems on any other website.

Seems fine for me - W10 with F'fox 104.0.2
Maybe check the scroll settings in F'fox ?

I'm somewhat intrigued that my Radiomuseum account seems to have a higher level of security than my Bank account. For no particular reason, I often use different browsers on different PCs and this seems to raise suspicions with Radiomuseum, though my bank copes without comment.

I use different browsers, different VPNs, different IPs and different machines none of it seems to make the slightest difference to RM it just works for me.

Hi.
Working fine here on the latest version of Linux Mint and Firefox also on Win 11, Firefox and Chrome.

I've checked the 'scroll' settings in Firefox and tried switching things on & off but it makes no difference.
The strange thing is that everything works just fine on the RM home page and if I search for a particular valve for example, the results do show the scroll bar on the right that can be used to move down the page.
What doesn't work are any page results for a radio ; I've tried a few different ones and they just show the top of the page and that's it...
I'm using Win10 and Firefox 104.0.2, also Adblock Plus & Ghostery.

PROBLEM SOLVED !
I paused Ghostery then reloaded the RM page : now there was a box asking if I would accept cookies and after doing so it now works !
Phew.
