My Firefox has: Audio Compressor NoScript Privacy Badger uBlock Origin And, each has various configuration settings; any one of which could cause issues. A proper web site should respect privacy, should use JavaScript only from the originating domain, and should be free of external advertisements. craigslist.org is one of the few web sites that seems to follow these principles.
