Seeking help with my firefox and this Face Book thing.

    Lets start off with the fact that I LOVE this OS.
     Now that that's established. My issue is that when ever I log into my F/B page I get nothing. Well to specify. I use FireFox and when I go to my page I get the headers, (home-profile-view-messages-ect) at the top of the page. However the page never seems to fill out. I see nothing but a blue back ground and white box's where the adds usually are. No pictures,  no updates nothing. Even the drop down windows don't open.
     My FireFox works on everything else, E-mail, other sites, ect. However it just does not want to work on F/B anymore. It acts like it doesn't fully load the page,any page, that I go to. My other machines view the page fine. Just not this I-Mac, my main machine anymore. It seems to have started right after the last update. Which unfortunately, I do not know what all was changed.
     I have done a reinstall and still no luck. I plan to try a complete uninstall, clean up, then re-install of FireFox. But I will wait until the weekend for that. First I was hoping someone might have some guidance for this old fart.
     Thank you in advance.

    Try this. Open file manager to your home folder, Right click on empty area, select show hidden files, Now look for a folder called .mozilla . Close firefox,  Now delete it ( .mozilla). Then start firefox. Now see if you can view FB. Just a warning. Doing this will delete your cookies, web passwords, and online form data. 


    Hope this helps,

    Thank you for the quick fix rfry85. So far it worked. It did delete everything. But was in need of cleaning out my favourites, ect. I have a tendency to add pages to finish reading later then not remove them once they have been read.
     Thank you again.
