      ghostery in FF blocks all content except the social buttons at the bottom.

      Disabling ghostery displays the content.

      Or clicking reader view displays the content, with ghostery on.

      Or View/Style/No Style displays the content, with ghostery on.

      Going up the URL, this also doesn't displahy with ghostery on: https://designschool.canva.com/

      but this does display: https://www.canva.com/

      I'm really enjoying Canva's Design School tutorials that simply and elegantly take complete beginners through the basics of good design with a series of hands-on exercises.
