Vodkaman Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Kurt. I am having all kinds of problems posting with FF, from paragraphs unformatting to being unable to post at all and losing my text. Fortunately, I always take the precaution of typing my text in word. In the end, I had to revert to IE to get my post up - I hate IE with a passion! I am attempting to post this in FF. DAve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Now the same text pasted into IE: Kurt.

Vodkaman Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I can't post anything now with FF! No one else seems to be having a problem, is this something that I have broken? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Dave, I was having problems with Firefox recently. It had gotten extremely slow and sometimes wouldn't even load web pages. I ran my anti-virus program a couple times and found nothing. Earlier today I downloaded the free edition of Malwarebytes anti-malware program and it found a lot of stuff that the anti-virus wasn't picking up. Not sure if this applies to you, but it made a big improvement for me. good luck, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks Ben, but I run MWB daily as my installed resident troubleshooter. It is a good piece of kit, I even paid for it though I didn't need to, I was that happy with it. Dammit - back to IE to post! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New River Rat Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I was having weird issuse a while back seeing the forum. Here is the link to the thread that rectified everything for me. Maybe it is some FireFox add on giving the trouble? http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/28295-ie-vs-firefox/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Everything works fine, except I cannot post. Forgot, cannot post. Over to IE. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Update - things have taken a turn for the worse. Now I cannot get in on FF at all. Attached is a screen image of what I get. I remember having this a while back, but cannot remember the solution. I have had other problems today, with the Indonesian government blocking a lot of sites. But, I found a fix for that and everything is working again. However, because IE is working, this indicates that it is not this blocking problem. Any ideas! Actions already taken: FF 34.0.05 history deleted. FF re-loaded. Lots of loging in and out, switchin on and off, rebooting etc. Dave Edited January 11, 2015 by Vodkaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt - NC Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hi Dave, I use Firefox every day here with no issues whatsoever. Have you tried clearing your browser cache? Also, what add-ons are you running with Firefox? Sometimes add-ons or extensions can cause problems. And what version of Firefox are you on? One last thing. Typing in Word and then pasting into the forums can cause issues because Word adds all kinds of strange code to the text when you past it into here. If you prefer to type in Word and then paste it into the forums, try typing it in Word, then paste it into Notepad, which will remove any extraneous code, then paste it into the forums. See if that works and let me know. I know it's a few extra steps, but it will help troubleshoot the problem. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Kurt. Thanks for getting back to me. Obviously the problem is on my computer somewhere. I have done all the usual stuff, history, cache, re-load, disable add-ons etc. FF 34.0.5 The attached images are my ad-ons. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I have just loaded in FF safe mode and TU works. You were right, it is looking like one of the ad-ons is causing the problem. FF35 has been released, so I will install that and see.

Vodkaman Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) FF 35 is not an official release yet, so I won't be loading that. I found the problem, it was adblock plus extension. I thought I had checked this before. I clicked disable in TU and everything started to work. This is good, as I don't want to lose adblock plus because it makes yahoo mail so much more bearable, Good call Kurt Dave Edited January 18, 2015 by Vodkaman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt - NC Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Glad to be able to help, Dave. I was actually going to suggest starting Firefox in safe mode, but you did that and it helped you discover the problem. Happy to know you're all fixed up now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Kurt - All of a sudden, all the options in the posting window are available to me. I haven't been in this position for a long time. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodkaman Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) The problem re-occurred today. I cleared 'everything' from the history and this solved the problem straight away. Also, with the 4 hour edit privilege, I was able to go back and fix my last post. Note - it was only a week or so since I last emptied the history. This post is just to inform members with Firefox, I am currently using 43.0.3. Dave Edited January 1, 2016 by Vodkaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
