How do I fix 'loading instagram' embedded in threads?

Whenever I enter a thread where someone posts an instagram link I only see the following. How can I have it show the actual post?

I think this happens when you block trackers or/and have an ad-blocker

Whitelist the site and you are good

I have no idea. I can no longer see uploaded images because my work blocks all that stuff.
 
It's 100% a tracker blocking issue, but we need more than "It's broke, fix it for me" if you aren't willing or able to find a fix for yourself. If you tell us the browser and extensions we will be able to tell you exactly what to do.
 
Some browsers have an option to block social media posts. Such as Facebook, Twitter/X, etc.
Go to the options and see in the privacy section if there is something on.

Browser is Firefox 64bit and is up to date.

The first thing I'm looking for is ad and script extensions. You have two ad blockers I'm not familiar with (2 is a waste, it's extra processing for what is undoubtedly a huge overlap).

There may be settings in either of those that make a difference, blocking trackers.

What is more likely is Firefox's tracker protection settings. Strict will stop embeds, so you will need to set an exception for GAF. You can do this with a dropdown menu on the left end of the URL bar
