Default Help - Firefox Issue

Can't find a help forum or thread anywhere, so tossing this here. Don't see any means to contact an admin either.

Any users having issues with Firefox? For the last 3 days I have not been able to reply to a thread or start a new thread via Firefox. The text boxes don't exist - nowhere to place cursor.

I'm typing this in MS Edge, which works, so must be a Firefox issue.

I have the latest version of Firefox, have tried logging out/in, restart, deleted cache and cookies - no go.

Any plugins running on Firefox? I would try uninstalling FF first, then go to "REGEDIT" and blow away the FF folder before reinstalling.

Thanks. What's odd is I am having no issues at Corvette Forum, which is also Internet Brands, using Firefox.

Something screwy is happening to me too. I am using Safari on a Mac but I use an ad blocker, uBlock origin. I disabled it on this site because it would prevent images from users from loading, but yesterday, uBlock was enabled on the site. I disabled it on the forum, but then uBlock was disabled everywhere else, too.

I just had to do it again to reply to this thread, and disabling it on here also disabled it on ESPN.com.

That's weird. I don't think it's a forum thing. If you are using uBlock on any OS or browser, disable it on this site and see if it disables it browser-wide or site-wide. It was always the latter for me before. Now it's the former.

I shut FF AdBlock off, still can't post.

Had many issues with FF so I jumped to Chrome and haven't gone back.

I just checked with my FF and have issue with the latest FF on a MAC and posting on this site as well. Will try from a Linux VM with FF and see if I get the same.

BTW, latest FF with no plugins on OS X 10.11.16. :-(

Today, it worked fine. Seems like uBlock saved my settings from yesterday for this site. I have it blocking ads but it is allowing AudiWorld.com to make connect completely. So it's not blocking anything from this site's domain.

I think that was the issue since the reply box is now showing up.

I had to disable the built-in adblock on my Opera to get the text box back. The ads on this site are not so bad, so it's fine to disable it per-site basis.
As for browser wars, it seems like there is no one great browser out there anymore, but I suggest you guys give Opera a try, it's pretty smooth and I never have the ram or CPU issues I used to have with Chrome (it seemed like chrome would never completely close) and Whats App and FB messenger (i only use Whatsapp) is intergrated into Opera, I wish I could get my text messages too.
