Clicking on …
I just started noticing this since a few days back. Nothing has changed in my browser configuration.
And no, I don’t have anyone in my ignored and/or muted list
This happens also when I click … under the posts of all the other users.

looks like your browser has trouble loading the images from the server.
Try the usual, restarting modem/router/computer and check again, also delete browser cache.

Maybe you need update your arkenfox user.js.

This happens to me occasionally, a couple refreshes or clearing the browser does the trick for me.

Thanks all for the replies!
The only thing on the list left to try was to restart the router. I just did and I have still the “issue”
@swh , this is on Librewolf so apart from its own user.js configs, I haven’t done anything.
I’am going to try with the “regular” Firefox and Chromium and see if I will be seeing the same thing there as well.
So far, no luck on my end.

Firefox, “virgin profile”: same issue
Chromium, “virgin profile”: same issue

That is really very strange.
Have you ever tried using a different font?

It is indeed. I’m at loss for an explanation.
No. I will try. Thanks for the suggestion!

Nothing seems to help.
This is hopeless!
Let me go kill myself a bit and then come back

Maybe a simple reboot is the solution after you cleaned mozilla cache

Yes. That would be the last ray of hope.

Long shot: adguard or pihole (or equivalent) going haywire?

I have no ad/content blocker set up on network level. I should actually be looking into setting up pihole.
The blocking happens on each device with addons/extensions. I did try though with fresh browser profiles with no addons.
I also have a rather outdated /etc/hosts that may need updating.
Looks like I am to look for a needle in a hay stack.

I hope you at least know in which hay stack to start looking for that needle .
Good luck!

can you try to use your phones mobile connection through Mobile Hotspot or USB Tethering and check if it also happens there?

Another test is to create a new user account and see if the problem persists with that account.

@BS86
I am usb tethering my mobile connection now and unfortunately the issue is still there.
Do you think that this might be network related?
Thanks for the suggestion!
However, I doubt that this is due to some mal-configuration (or other “nastiness”) in my current user account.
I have tried in other systems on this same machine and also tried another machine with Arch and the issue is still present.
