Why can't I see Huffpost comments?

Though I don't post on Huffpost, I enjoy reading the comments. I know they went to "Facebook Conversations" but now comments don't show at all and there isn't a link to click to see them (at least when I read the articles)
Windows 7 with Firefox, if that means anything.

Anyone with the same problem or a solution.

Please, no Huffpost hate replies. I don't care what you think of Huffpost, if you don't like the site, don't read.
I am looking for help for this one problem, not a debate on why HP sucks.

It sucks. You could always go to Yahoo if you want to read a bunch of right wing junk. The media in this country has become absolutely disgusting.

a lot of comments are RW. And they are usually pounced on.

replacing comments (previously they required all commenters to self-identify with a facebook account so this was the obvious direction they were headed).

So, because it links to another site (Facebook), it is very slow to load. I know you don't want to hear it, but I damn well hope this destroys HuffPost in terms of web traffic.

I certainly don't think it is a good move. Maybe it will make them change their procedures.
I like a lot of the articles on HP. The only reason I put that caveat in was because I wanted legitimate aswers rather than a lot of "HP SUCKS" posts.

Oh well not the first website that screwed things up.

NoScript won't show the comments unless I allow facebook scripts to run, both .com and .net.

I'll have to look at my add-ons and then decide if I want Facebook to run scripts, thanks.
