I can't get Google map to work on Firefox.
I can't get Google map to work on Firefox. I have a web site with a Google map on it, but potential customers using Firefox will not be able to use this function to locate me. Can someone please help me fix this issue?

by TylerdownerThe Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Below is the message I get rather than the actual map. But what I don't get is that it worked perfectly well a few days ago...
"Content Encoding Error"

Thank you for your fast response Tyler,
I will give it a try. but before I do so, will all my bookmarks be lost? because I have lots of them and can't afford to lose them.

Reset will leave ll your bookmarks in place, no worries
I have exactly the same problem. I did the reset, but frankly it didn't help.
Are there any other possible solutions?
