American Greetings site kaplooey

I'm not 100% sure the problem is a script blockage, but I run the same Firefox version (without the benefit of NoScript) at work (same Mac platform) and have no problems. I have tried the latest stable and unofficial versions of NoScript (1.9.8.4 and 1.9.8.5) to no avail. The site http://www.AmericanGreetings.com is nothing but a list of text; the site is unusable. I've permanently allowed americangreetings.com and temporarily allowed specificclick.net, imgag.com, and about:blank, the only other scripts listed as blocked, and the site does not change. What else can I do? Thank you!

Sounds like you have (FF) View | Page Style, set to None.

Thanks for the response! I never knew that setting was there, sorry for my ignorance. I checked that, and nope, "no style" actually gave me a slightly better page than the "basic page style" that is checked on. (Still doesn't function, though.) I'm ready to try any other suggestions you may have! (All other sites work perfectly, so I don't THINK it's a FF setting, but I'm willing to try anything...)

It's working fine for me even with everything blocked.
Maybe Adblock Plus?
Could you try Standard Diagnostic?

You are brilliant! It is Adblock Plus that's blocking the site! But I have Adblock on my work machine as well... odd. But I am now spared the frustration of trying to deal with this thing, so thank you very much! If you know of any other ad-blocking add-ons available, though, I am interested. Thank you!

See if you don't have an Adblock filter like, |http://ak.imgag.com/*.
If so, disable it. See if that doesn't get things going for you.

That does it; thank you! Am I opening myself up to any unwanted ads by disabling that filter?

That filter doesn't seem to block any ads on the American Greetings site. It just blocks legitimate content. I'm using Adblock Plus 1.1.1 with the EasyList subscription. EasyList seems to block all the unwanted ads.
