Having Problems With Some Websites
I have searched, but have not seen a solution to what is happening. I can no longer log into eBay (button is grayed out), photos on imgur do not display, captchas do not display on logon screens etc. All of this used to work fine. And all of these work on chrome.
I have deleted cookies and history, updated to the latest version, disabled all add-ons etc.
Can anyone please help me??
Firefox 69.0.2
Mac OSX 10.11.6

Re: Having Problems With Some Websites
Any change if you restart in Safe Mode?
As a test, create a new, clean Profile.
Does that work?
Are you using Private Browsing?
Do you have images set as blocked on imgur?
JavaScript disabled?

I was looking at this earlier. Is java controlled by an add-on? I could not find anything, so I added an add-on for java - with no change..therube wrote:JavaScript disabled?

FYI, JavaScript is not the same as Java.

Sorry; I don't know. I was just pointing out that JavaScript and Java are not the same -- it's an often misunderstood distinction.

JavaScript isn't the problem if the sites don't work in safe mode .
Do they work in a new profile?

(If you manually disable JavaScript [in about:config], starting FF in Safe Mode does not re-enable it.)

Re: Having Problems With Some Websites
maybe firefox's "content blocking" is causing problems:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/content-blocking
you can try disabling it, to solve the problem(s).

Re: Having Problems With Some Websites
Hi guys,
I finally had a chance to try this, I created a new clean profile and yes everything works fine!
So what is the best thing to do now? Delete my old default profile and build-anew?
Thanks..

Re: Having Problems With Some Websites
Hi,
I suggest that you leave the old Profile alone, until you have transferred your "stuff" over to it
& then leave it for a while till you know that you no longer require anything more from it.
(Even then, I'd just save it to somewhere safe.)

Re: Having Problems With Some Websites
As long as you make the new one the default (this can be done by going to address bar and about:profiles), there is no need to delete the old, you can just ignore it and recover some files from it if you want to get back some data.
This tells some files you could copy and what they contain. All copying must be done with all Firefox versions not running.

Re: Having Problems With Some Websites
Thanks guys.
I won't delete anything. I'm very happy to finally have this stuff working. I have been living with it for quite a while now!
