Anybody else having problems with the latest update? I'm on a MacBook Air and everything is up to date.

My problems just started yesterday on Sigforum, Amazon, PostImage, and my brokerage account. All of the sites work fine on Chrome so it's not an issue with the sites (.e.g I'm posting from Chrome right now). Other sites such as YouTube, Outlook, my bank, etc work same as ever.

I've been messing around with security settings with zero success. I even reset all custom settings to default and that didn't work either.

maybe you should elaborate about "problems".
cuz that's extremely ambiguous.

how would you feel if someone came to you and said "my car has problems plz fix it".
you'd wanna know some specifics right?

I use Brave mostly but opened up Firefox on my Windows laptop to see if I had any issues. My Firefox is up to date and those sites all load up perfectly. In addition to resetting to the default config, have you also cleared your cache and deleted all your cookies?

That's interesting.
It's like CSS and images don't load for you.

As you say, since everything works on another browser that tells us that the sites are fine - as are your connections to all the underpinnings.

Honestly I'd likely try to uninstall/reinstall FF.

Yes, I cleared cache and cookies as well.

Even more strange is that Twitter works perfectly normal on Firefox and as previously mentioned so does YouTube. However, an embedded Tweet or embdedded YouTube video on Sigforum displays as blank real estate. In the New Orleans terrorist thread, here is Corsair's post which contains both.

Firefox:

I don't know Apple but if it were Windows I would uninstall it and make sure all files have been deleted. Then reinstall. You've already done everything else I would have tried. And I would export any bookmarks and logins that I didn't want to lose before the uninstall.

Couple people have suggested uninstall / reinstall Firefox. I'll add something to that.

In addition to the executable in the Applications folder, MacOS usually has some support files scattered around, things like plist, and other stuff in library folders, etc., some of which might be hidden files.

For a really clean uninstall, you'll want to get rid of those files, as well as the one in the Applications folder.

Easiest way that I have found to do this, is to use "AppCleaner." It searches for all the auxiliary files, it's free, and you can find it in the Mac App store.

The uninstall, using Appcleaner, and reinstall worked. Thanks for the suggestions.

Good thing I backed up my bookmarks two ways as the first way had a corrupt file.
