Hi Dev and all the others!
I’ve found the last working uaswitcher-1.4.67.xpi version of the file
(from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uaswitcher/
versions/ <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uaswitcher/
versions/>), but Firefox gives me the message: The add-on downloaded
from this site could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt.
I even tried to load it as a temporary add-on – same result. What should
I do?
On a clear morning’s mind I’m very skeptical if this tool will solve my
issue. Wikipedia is not actively blocking the use of my browser. Its CSS
seems to have been changed so the pictures and maps do not show up.
So back to my question: can I do something in my side, except for
changing the system or the browser, to see the pictures and maps again?
A plugin or change the code manually? Or is there someone who could do
it for me?
Thanks and kind regards!

I'm not aware of any changes on our side that would cause this. Just for
fun, I dusted off a VM running Windows XP and installed Firefox 52.9.0
on it, and I can see all images on Wikipedia. Screenshot:

I think the best advice you got so far is from Tim: this may be an issue
with your laptop. Make a backup of your data soon before it dies on you.
Then test on another laptop or a fresh Windows installation, and see if
you still have this problem.
