I keep getting the same thing - at the bottom of the page there's a notation: "Scripts Partially Allowed, 1/2 (freerepublic.com) :0" ( there's an Object = 0 or something but it's HTML type code and won't go into this comment... On the right side bottom there's an 'options' clickable.
Whatever is going on, I can't see my Vanguard funds - have to use CHROME. If I drop all my settings when I reinstall I'd lose bookmarks. Opened 'options' at the bottom of the page ( it's on every page and link) and when I try to change the settings it cautions that it's dangerous. Maybe it's coincidence that both are happening just as I downloaded the new firefox...
Here download CC Cleaner on the link below, and save it to your desk top.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
Launch it to install it. Make sure to “uncheck” all the boxes as you proceed through the installation with the exception of the “Desk Top Shortcut”. After installation launch the program. Make sure your browser and any other open programs are closed.
1) Once CC Cleaner is running. Left click the top left icon, “Cleaner”. Then to the bottom right of the CC Cleaner window left click “Run Cleaner”. It will run and clean it. Left click the “Run Cleaner” button again and again repeating this same procedure until nothing comes up.
2) Once that is clean. On the left hand side just below the “Cleaner” icon... left click the “Registry” icon. Then to the right left click “Scan for issues”. Once it’s done left click “fix issues”. It will ask you if you want to back it up or just fix it. There is no need to back it up. I’ve never done it, and never had a problem. Been using this program for about 7 years. Left click “Fix Issue”. Once its done, left click “Scan for issues” again and repeat the same procedure over and over until you get nothing on the scan too.
3) Once this is done. Close CC Cleaner and go to the Start icon at the bottom left of your computer. Then go to “Run” option or if on Windows 7 just go to the blank search field above and type the following command,
shutdown -r -t 05
This will shut down and reboot your computer. It will also flush the Cache out of your computer. Once your computer comes back up and done. Go ahead and launch Firefox. Check your Settings (like previous post) to make sure your Java box is checked.
Now when you first go online for about (5 minutes) or so it may be a bit slow, but then it will speed up as you go on to more and more sites. You will find that you will have to reenter your user name (sites that require that), but your passwords should automatically fill in (once you put the user name in) and you can log right back into sites such as “Free Republic”.
At any rate, I hope this helps you out. If not, then I guess use Chrome. Sorry you are having such trouble with it. Good luck!
If you do a System Restore to say before you upgraded Firefox, then you might be able to get your previous Firefox back. Not 100% sure on that. If you try that option, then after the System Restore you will have to update your virus definitions again. Just click update on your McAfee, Norton, etx.... Nevertheless, it should do it automatically.
