Date and time okay. Ran Malwarebytes and Spybot. Still won’t let me get into Facebook ....
Oh hahaha ...>snort<
LOL!
LOL! ANTS! Eek!
That's not necessarily a bad thing - Facebook is a not trusted site in so many ways.
Now FF locks out YouTube ....
Now FF locks out YouTube .... and add-on’s from their own drop down menu
You can either try to start Firefox in safe mode by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox, which then disables all add-ons, to see if it’s an add-on causing the issue.
Or you can reset Firefox, which will give it a new default user profile with no add-ons added yet. Again, you can choose either of these options by holding the shift key, when you start Firefox and you’ll get a pop up box asking which you want to do.
OR, you could completely uninstall Firefox.
Then search for and remove any mozilla files/folders
Then download and reinstall fresh firefox. Make sure not to import anything from IE (except maybe your favorites).
See if that works.
Did you do an upgrade recently?
I did, and my computer just would not recognize my browser.
Hubby did some magic and got everything beaten into shape,
and all is well now. He actually had to go on his computer
and get the instructions for solving the problem, which is
apparently common since four pages of troubleshooting lore
spewed out to help him fix things.
It’s fine now. Hubby is a great guy.
K, did the shift key thing and still won’t go to YouTube, get that block error as unsafe ...
Well I totally removed FF and reinstalled it ... still the same thing, can’t get to FB or Youtube ... don’t know about other sites yet ...
And now FF won’t let you add on anything from their pull down menu ... says it’s an untrusted site. I hate IE and don’t want to use that ...
That’s no joke!
I have W7 and the last time I ok’d a restore I had all sorts of problems getting my stuff back again ...
Unless you installed a boat load of stuff between now and when you first started having the FF problem, you shouldn’t lose anything, except Windows updates that were done.
I’ve never had a problem myself, losing stuff. Your personal files should all remain intact and anything you’ve worked on, even up to today, should still all be there.
When I was a tot, my parents put boot-prints from the fireplace to the Christmas tree to prove to us kiddies that there really WAS a Santa. My mother was distinctly displeased with me for pointing out to my siblings that there were no boot-prints going BACK to the fireplace...
By the time I was seven years old, everyone else in my family
was an adult. I never believed in Santa Claus. My jaded older
siblings disabused me of that when I was very young. I missed
a LOT of my childhood innocence being raised in a houseful
of adults who didn’t care what I saw or overheard.
